This will put a smile on your face! The seal that's rolling with laughter
Life on the rocks is a barrel of laughs for this harbour seal who was spotted chortling as he took a relaxing break from swimming.
The mammal was spotted having a blast at Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California, an area of the US popular with the species.
It was spotted by keen photographer Veronica Craft, who said she takes pictures of seals because of their happy nature
The jovial beast, which Veronica nicknamed 'LOL' was more than happy to play up for the camera.
Harbour Seals come in a variety of colours, and all have dog-like heads without external ears.
This breed of seal particularly enjoy basking in the sun at low tides.
Veronica, from Marina in California, said: 'When I saw what he was doing my first thought to the seal was 'Please don't stop, I have to get a shot of this'.
'I like to think he was mugging for the camera or maybe he was laughing at me. He probably thinks humans are silly.
'Initially I couldn't believe I had captured the moment but as I clicked through my shots I realised that I had actually captured several moments.
'I love seals. It is extremely fun to see them play. They always bring a smile to my face and I can't stop photographing them.
'They are just cute and silly. I am truly blessed to live in an area with such diverse sea creatures.'
