Photo of the Day 4.21.10

Your body language sends a million signals. Happy, sad, mad, afraid, overjoyed, or in the case of this seal, incredibly proud. Roymartin grabbed this shot of a posing seal at Sea World in San Diego, Calif., and just looking at it makes me want to sit up straighter and ring a bell for my butler.

Marine biologists at NOVA have confirmed that seals are among some of the smartest mammals in the sea. This photo not only makes a statement, but shows the true intelligence of this beautiful animal by its stature and body language.

Have a photo of an animal (sea or otherwise) that shows some fun human characteristics? Upload it to the Gadling Flickr Pool and we might just choose your photo as our Photo of the Day.
