Seal Grabs Diver's Hand - What Happens Next Is Way Too Cute

Gary Grayson was enjoying the water off the Scilly Isles in the UK when two gray seals suddenly decided to join him. The experienced diver was a bit shocked when he noticed that the seals weren’t shy as one of the amazing animals tried to touch its nose to his.

It was a bit confusing for Gary as he tries to understand what the seal really wanted. However, when he decided to stretch out his hand, one of the seals took hold of it and pulled it to its tummy.

I want to know how animals communicate with each other in their own species and with other species. Also, how their brains and instinct work (migration, avoiding danger, etc). Mainly, I want to be able to talk with, not at, my dog who I suspect if far more interesting than I am.

I would definitely not do noseys with a seal. I like having a face.

Sweet though.

Decades ago, I painted a mural that said,"Every now and then we all need a good tummy rub." I included photos of cats, dogs, bears, wolves, bunnies. koalas, goats, donkeys, alpacas, kangaroos, cows, horses, piglets, my brother's parrot and babies all getting tummy rubs. Now I can add seals to the list.

Your mural must have been lovely. A good belly rub should be very relaxing.
