Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) on haul out in fishing harbour with ferry in the background, Lerwick, Shetland Isles, Scotland, UK, June 2010. Photographer quote: These seals line up to take advantage of scraps of fish from a local processing plant - I know this because I had to crawl through the gunge! Did you know?

Seal Squad Goals - Catching Fish and Ferry Rides!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hilarious snapshot captured by a brave photographer in Lerwick, Shetland Isles, Scotland, we witness the ultimate opportunists of the animal kingdom - grey seals! These adorable creatures have found themselves a prime spot on a haul out in a bustling fishing harbor. But what's that in the background? It's none other than a ferry cruising by! These clever seals have mastered the art of multitasking as they line up along the harbor, patiently waiting for their chance to score some tasty fish scraps from a local processing plant. And let us tell you, it's not an easy feat! Our intrepid photographer had to crawl through all sorts of gunge just to get this incredible shot. Did you know that grey seals are true carnivorous connoisseurs? Just like any skilled predator, they seize every opportunity that comes their way. In this case, these lovable pinnipeds have chosen to hang around a fish processing factory hoping for some delicious handouts. So next time you find yourself at sea or near a fishing port, keep an eye out for these urban seal celebrities who've mastered both land and water. They're always ready for action – whether it's catching fish or hitching rides on passing ferries!
