    You can't sea me!

    A sea otter dozes happily - disguised as a lump of seaweed.

    Wildlife photographer Michael Yang had spent the day haplessly searching for otters in Monterey, California, before his wife pointed out a suspicious floating pile of kelp.

    His amazing pictures show the marine mammal seemingly hiding from the world in order to get some peaceful sleep.

    And, hilariously, the otter unwrapped itself for a good shake of its fur before rewrapping itself in kelp and once again nodding off.

    Michael says: "The sea otter was well camouflaged. Despite being right next to a walk path, most people walked right by without even noticing the dozing otter. Sea otters sometimes wrap themselves up in kelp so they won't float off while they are sleeping. This sea otter took it one step further and covered its face with the kelp like an eye mask."
