An overly-friendly wild seal has been taken into rehab in an attempt to wean her off human contact after she stopped being able to fend for herself.
Spearmint the North Atlantic grey seal has been a regular visitor of Plymouth Sound in Devon and has become friendly with the tourists and locals who feed her.
But the mammal - who has been pictured interacting with wild swimmers, climbing onto paddleboards, and wandering around outside a pub - has now become too friendly for her own good, and needs professional help to ensure she re-learns how to fend for herself as a wild animal.
