A wildlife photographer has taken a remarkable image of a seal pup that appears to be "laughing" on a beach in England, British news agency SWNS reports.
Amateur wildlife photographer Wayne Havenhand took the image a few days ago on the beach at Horsey Gap in Norfolk, England, telling the news outlet how happy he was with the picture.

"I was trying to get a shot of a pup pulling a face," Havenhand, 53, said. "Everyone says it looks like the seal is giving a big belly laugh - it's nice to have a laugh in these times."
Havenhand, who recently took images of two other seals on the beach that were eerily reminiscent of a famous movie scene, added he needed to stay on top of the mammal's movements because of how quick they are.

In July, a wild seal was spotted off the English coast begging tourists for food near the small naval port at Dartmouth, Devon.
