After a day of playing on the beach with friends, the grey seal spends a few minutes nudging the photography equipment with his nose before striking a pose.

The 26-year-old, of Turin, Italy, says: ‘I came quite close to the seals trying to get the perfect picture. This pup saw me and it was absolutely not scared of the camera at all.
