Grey seal
Taken at Ecomare - a sanctuary for sea animals on a small Dutch Island, Texel.
In Dutch language it's "zeehond", which means literally "sea dog". :)
Grey seals are true sporters. They easily swim from the Wadden Sea to England and back again.They are less shy and much more curious than harbour seals. The pups are born in the middle of the winter on undisturbed sandbanks in the Wadden Sea. The vicious wind blows constantly in their faces but these tough young animals have a thick white winter coat during their first few weeks to protect them.
