An intrepid paddler’s kayak was HEAD-BUTTED and bitten by an over-protective seal after he veered too closely to her newborn pups.

Stuart Schouw, 47, was taking part in the 5 capes challenge, which involves rounding five of the notorious capes in South Africa within a 10-day period, when he angered the seal.

The health and safety manager and his teammates were kayaking in residential seal colony Cape Seal when they passed hundreds of the miniature mammals which riled one of the mums.
