Sure, seals like to sunbathe. Famously, they live the best life lounging around on beaches.
So did this 450-pound adorable lump really have to catch its rays on an airport runway instead? No, but it doesn't care what you think.
A seal was found by airport foreman Scott Babcock on a runway in Utqiagvik, Alaska. He kindly posted a video to Facebook for those of us who don't have enough chillin' seals in our lives.
Â
The bearded seal, the largest breed of Arctic Ocean seal, was far too busy relaxing to sweat the small things, such as blocking off each and every take-off from the airport.
It eventually had to be removed - via a snow blower and a sled, obviously - but not before it caught some serious rays.
Understandably, it looks quite annoyed with the airport authorities for interrupting its down-time:
Â
Babcock told ABC News:
It was very strange to see the seal.Â
I've seen a lot of things on runways, but never a seal.Â
Babock said on Facebook that the airport was quite far away from the sea.
But one Facebook user had a theory of how the seal got there.
