EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an old grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) can be seen resting on the sandy beach of Helgoland, Germany. The marine mammal's wrinkled and weathered features tell the tale of a life spent in the cold waters of the North Sea. With his piercing eyes and expressive face, this majestic creature exudes a sense of wisdom and tranquility. Grey seals, also known as "Harp seals," are a common sight along the European and North American coastlines. They are the third largest species of seal and are well adapted to life in the water, with streamlined bodies and powerful flippers. However, they occasionally come ashore to rest, molt, or give birth. This old male grey seal appears to be enjoying a peaceful moment on the beach, facing the sea with a calm and contemplative expression. His head is turned slightly towards the camera, inviting us to connect with him and appreciate the beauty and power of this magnificent creature. The photograph was taken by renowned wildlife photographer Stefan Meyers, who has captured the essence of this grey seal's character and personality. The image is a testament to Stefan's skill and dedication to preserving the natural world through his art.
