A harbour seal near Islay, Scotland
With any luck, this snoozing harbour seal off ‘The Queen of the Hebrides’ put a grin on your face for World Smile Day. And yes, the seal is taking a nap. When harbour seals are tired, they usually sprawl out on the beach. But if it’s too far to dry land, harbour seals will anchor themselves with seaweed and keep just their faces above the surface. Scientists call it ‘bottling’ but we call it adorable.
