Don’t come too close
Just leave me be
And do not touch
I’m fine
I swear it
Just feeling rough
My coat’s gone ragged
Itching and irritating
I have to rub it off, you see
On the sand beside the sea
Then you’ll see the perfect me
This cutie is a grey seal pup in molt. Below is one *perfected*

I am seriously jealous that you can get up close and personal with this lovely little creature!
Wonderful poetry to go with!

Couldn’t work out if he was stuck on his back, or on his back to rub the irritation away
