A man was enjoying a day on the water boating by himself when he was surprised by a friendly and curious seal.
The flash from his camera while taking a selfie attracted a passing seal, who thought it was the perfect time to jump aboard the vessel and start a new friendship and a different kind of adventure.
The seal’s actions certainly took the boater by surprise.
One moment he was enjoying his solitude aboard his vessel, taking a photo of himself to remember the moment, and the next moment he had a wild, yet friendly, sea creature seated right next to his back, obviously unafraid.
But instead of feeling any panic, fear or shock, the boater felt only amusement at the seal’s sense of adventure as well as his bravery.
The boater switched his camera from taking still photos to capturing this special event on video.
Without missing a beat, the man stared into his camera as the seal looked on and identified him as “my new friend.”
He then posted his amazing video online of a very unexpected friendship formed between a man and a seal.
Although this human and this seal seemed to have nothing in common, it didn’t stop the pair from being able to spend some quiet time together out on the water.
Most people who have seen the man’s video call it heartwarming.
It also serves as a nice reminder that just by having the company of a friend, someone’s day can be made much brighter and more interesting.
