They are, by nature, aquatic animals.
But one cheeky seal clearly wanted respite from the choppy waters of Northern Ireland - as he proved by snagging himself a dinghy, this week.Â
The mammal was spotted climbing into a moored boat and setting sail along the picturesque Copeland Islands, where he's become something of a celebrity. Â

Footage of the mammal's boat ride shows the creature drifting along the surface while relaxing on his back.
Taking it easy as he floats along, the seal - referred to as Sammy - can even be seen looking directly into the camera of a passer-by, who captured the hilarious moment.
Since being uploaded to a Copeland Islands Facebook page, the clip has since gone viral, clocking-up tens of thousands of views.
Bizarrely, the video's caption suggests he's a repeat performer, saying: 'That seal again!!! - feeling entertained'.Â

Naturally, the scenes generated plenty of comedy comments.
One wrote 'he's got my seal of approval', while another added 'he's probably waiting for a beer or two'. Another chimed-in: 'So that's who stole my tender!'
Meanwhile, others have referenced his other skills. One woman tagged her friend saying: 'And you told me not to worry when that seal was beside us kayaking!'
What a poser! Taking it easy as he floats along, the seal can even be seen looking directly into the camera of a passer-by
