A photographer in the Antarctic caught this relatable moment as a Weddell Seal stretched to scratch one of its itchy back flippers. <br /><br />Filmed on Danco Island in Mikkelsen Harbour, the Weddell seals are large predators, growing up to three metres long and weighing 400-500 kilograms, but seem to still be affected by itchy extremities. <br /><br />The seals are reportedly very placid animals, and two more are seen relaxing alongside the itchy one, seemingly ignorant of the photographer nearby or a passing Gentoo penguin that also appeared. <br /><br />This video was filmed on December 8, 2018.
