It's hard not to envy this grey seal's ability to take a catnap amidst gale force winds! The look of bliss on its face is as funny as it is soothing. An instant mood booster! Grey seals are found on both shores of the North Atlantic Ocean. Adults require about 5 kg (11 lb) of food every day and will eat whatever is available, including fish, eels, octopus, and lobsters. They aren’t picky! And, apparently, they can sleep anywhere. {Spotted in Scotland by JungleDragon user, NattyOne} #JungleDragon #Greyseal #Halichoerusgrypus
