Navy Seals Russian Style: Watch Military Mammals Wield Guns and Knives

Navy Seals Russian style: Watch military mammals wield guns and knives as part of Victory Day parade 

Two military seals wielding toy guns and knives dived through obstacles and raised flags during a performance at Russia's Victory Day parade.
The bizarre show saw seals Winnie the Pooh and Laska don military headgear and shoot at targets at an aquarium in Siberia.
The patriotic pair have been trained to swim, march underwater and carry rifles so they could take part in the country's grandiose celebrations.

The Baikal seals have also been coached to do tricks like playing with a ball, jumping through hoops, drawing, singing and dancing.
Just like their natural habitat, the seals' special aquarium is cooled to 3C – the same as in Lake Baikal, the world's oldest and deepest freshwater lake.
Evgeniy Baranov, founder of the world's first seal circus, told the Siberian Times: "The new show is a logical development of the tricks that our seals learned earlier. With every rehearsal they get better and better.
"I have been working with Baikal seals for more than 25 years. For some time I worked in a laboratory, almost 24/7. There were seals living there, and I looked after them, observing their traits.
"I started training and handling them. It wasn't too long before I realised that seals are no worse than dolphins. Maybe they are even smarter.

"Seals can solve logical, technical puzzles."
The bizarre seal show was part of Russia's celebrations to mark 70 years since victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.
Russian servicemen marched through Red Square in Moscow during the country's biggest-ever military parade.
The troops showcased new military hardware at a time when relations with the West have hit serious lows not seen since the Cold War.
