Stunning shots show seal cub in graceful mermaid pose

Photographer Mike Radcliffe has captured a stunning underwater shot of a seal cub resting upright - making it look like a mermaid. The juvenile Atlantic grey seal was snapped having a snooze with its head above the surface of the water and its tail perfectly visible underneath the surface - giving it the appearance of the mythical creature. The seal, which is about a year old, was also filmed twirling in the waves. [Photo: IC]
