This lounge chair gets a seal of approval!

This sea lion was caught sunbathing by the sea on a pebbled beach somewhere in southern Europe.

The reclining sea mammal even has an exclusive section of the beach to itself, as hotel staff appear to have cordoned off the area for the chillaxing animal.

The video shows the sun-worshipping sea lion stretching its flippers and nonchalantly turning over as the sea glitters in the background.

Shot by Paul van Loock of Belgium, the video has been viewed by more than 13 million times and shared by more than 268,000 people since it was posted to Facebook last week.
