Whoever named the seals must have never seen them underwater, because if they did, I’m sure they’d name them sea dogs.
Videographer and YouTuber Gary Grayson had the privilege to see these astonishing creatures in their natural habitat whilst diving off the coast of Scilly Isles, and this particular guy is nothing like the slow and heavy seals you see sunbathing on the shore. Down in the water, the playful pup was acting like a real dog. It was snooping around the scuba diver and inquisitively inspecting his gear to a point where it actually let Grayson give him belly rubs. It’s the most adorable thing ever.
