The grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) is a large seal of the family Phocidae, which are commonly referred to as "true seals" or "earless seals". The only species classified in the genus Halichoerus, it is found on both shores of the North Atlantic Ocean. In Latin, Halichoerus grypus means "hook-nosed sea pig".
Oh hello 👋🏼 - A #greyseal or #atlanticseal high up on a dune giving a wave. During the spring tides, the youngest ones seek higher ground to rest. This one is a yearling.
