This super-relaxed seal doesn't have a care in the world as it appeared to have taken a dinghy for leisurely cruise in the sea - complete with a pair of oars. Karis Hedges was returning from Skomer Island, Pembrokeshire, when she was stunned to notice a seal 'chilling out' in an inflatable boat.
The quick-thinking 26-year-old started snapping away and captured some 'lucky shots' of the marine mammal within a few seconds just as the boat was coming into shore at Martin's Haven. Photos taken by the full-time photographer show the brazen seal lying on its side peering up towards its onlookers - with an expression that almost says 'and? Do you have a problem?'.
The large animal, blatantly unbothered by its audience, then closed its eyes to bask in the sun and appeared completely relaxed.
