Thank you Louise! It's such a joy when a seal comes to check you out!

[@slrjona6755]

Why the reflective yellow strips on the fins for?

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Slr Jona seals seem attracted to bright things, and to fins.

[@stevenlarratt3638]

Slr Jona it's a shock when they nibble and tug gently on them...! was doing this off Looe island a few weeks back

echt lekker nummer

[@DaanVerhoeven]

ja heh?

[@ookiemand]

And Carlo Boshart said to me: So you're a seal? What camera did you shoot it with?

[@DaanVerhoeven]

we should be so lucky -they are amazing! This one is all shot on gopro -hence the banding. Was more in photo mode so not concentrating on getting smooth shots, but the gopro was running on top of my dome anyway and some of it was cute enough to use, i figured.

[@MrOnkyponk]

awesome !

[@DaanVerhoeven]

thank you!

[@delusionist37]

amazing! But are seals safe to swim with? just curious

[@DaanVerhoeven]

Well, they are wild animals, and they can crack crabs with their jaws, so i wouldn't piss them off. Also they have some nasty bacteria in their mouths. But they are a bit like dogs, not naturally aggressive, quite playful once they realise you are not a threat, and especially the young ones are very curious. So yes, safe -long as you yourself are safe. Most of nature is that way.

Wow Nice!
