CHUCKLING SEAL

CHUCKLING away, this little seal appears to find something hilarious. Lying on the sand with his eyes closed, he lets out a belly laugh for the camera. The amused harbour seal was photographed by German photographer Tobias Kuhl, 27, on a trip to the small island Helgoland in Germany. ‘I had been watching the seals for about fourteen days during my trip to Helgoland,’ says Tobias, of Bonn, Germany.
