Seals aren't only adorable marine animals, they can also be pretty entertaining and lovable creatures.
We've seen the adorable seal that shared an unbelievable connection with a toddler at the zoo. There's also the 200-pound elephant seal who unexpectedly cuddled with a tourist at the Antarctic Peninsula. Both moments took the internet by complete surprise.
Below is another instance that has people in awe. Off the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, a seal was spotted catching some small waves with the help of a whale. That's right, this little seal was having some fun riding on the massive animal's back. Who would've thought?!
While this priceless moment has been captured on camera before, it's not a common occurrence according to experts. And that doesn't include animals that have been trained to perform tricks of this nature at zoos.
Geoff Ross, a whale expert with NSW National Parks and Wildlife, told The Sydney Morning Herald that there's been cases where seals ride other animals, but mainly for survival methods.
"The only other time was a seal trying to get away from a killer whale… the seal hopped on the back of the pectoral fins of a humpback whale," he said.
