This video of Wicklow's Sammy the Seal looking for his dinner is going viral

Sammy the Seal has gone global in the past few days after a video emerged on Youtube of the intelligent Wicklow Town seal emerging from the water in search of his dinner.

The staff at the Lighthouse Seafood are frequented by the hungry seal almost every day as he searches for his dinner, and that intellect has seen his popularity grow in recent days.

This video, which was only published on Friday afternoon, has already amassed almost 50,000 views and some UK websites have even posted the video to their sites.
