Not all wildlife moments are dramatic—some unfold in perfect stillness.
The grey seal resting on the shores of the Orkney Islands, Scotland, is a perfect example.
Grey seals are among the UK's largest native marine mammals, with the country supporting around 40% of the world's population.
Despite their size, they are remarkably adaptable sleepers.
Rather than settling into one long stretch, grey seals nap in short, flexible bursts shaped by their surroundings.
