This seal looks like it has just been told the joke of the century.
It was caught cracking up and blowing kisses while lying on a rock in the clear blue ocean near an island off the Swedish coast.
The pinniped was caught on camera by amateur wildlife photographer Martin Thoma, from Germany.
Mr Thoma, 49, said: 'It was not easy to get these pictures - at first the seals were very shy.
'I visited them every day and they started to relax around me as they got used to me.
'I'm sure the seal had a fun time and enjoyed the sun on the rock.
'He has clearly found something very funny - I wonder what the joke was!
'It is these moments as a wildlife photographer that make me happy - I spend countless hours in nature, and these pictures are the reward for all that effort.'
