EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Francois Gohier, we witness a hilarious moment captured near Kaikoura in New Zealand. Meet our furry friend, FG-EC-158, a young male New Zealand Fur Seal who knows how to take relaxation to the next level! Resting gracefully on a bed of kelp washed ashore, this adorable marine mammal has found his ultimate chill spot. With his eyes closed and flippers sprawled out lazily, he seems completely unfazed by the world around him. Who needs a fancy hammock when you have nature's own cushiony kelp mattress? This little guy is living proof that life is all about finding those perfect moments of tranquility amidst the chaos of coastal living. The South Island provides an idyllic backdrop for this seal's siesta – crystal-clear waters glistening under the warm sun. As an Australasian native, FG-EC-158 perfectly embodies the laid-back spirit of Oceania. His presence reminds us to slow down and appreciate life's simple pleasures – like napping on seaweed! So if you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, take a cue from our furry friend here and find your own slice of paradise among nature's wonders. Just remember not to disturb this sleepyhead; after all, even seals need their beauty sleep!
