Adorable moment sea lion pup climbs onto lifeguards jet ski #shorts π¦π
A surfersβ lifeguard in Northern California received a surprise on January 6 when a young sea lion jumped onboard his Jet Ski.
Footage captured by Drake Stanley shows the sea lion pup perched on the driverβs seat of his Jet Ski during a water rescue in Mavericks, a popular surf spot in the area. βHereβs my buddy,β Stanley says in the footage, as he gives the cute critter a pat.
βI was doing rescue for the big-wave surfers,β Stanley told Storyful. βThe sea lion pup was separated from its mom and most likely being chased by a great white shark,β he added.
Eventually, marine rescue was called and the sea lion was handed over to make sure it was healthy and able to be rereleased into the wild.
Before handing her over, Stanley named his new buddy Bubbles, according to his Instagram post.

Muito fofa
Right now a great white is debating on taking out the whole dang thing
There is probably a shark around there and that's why he climbed on to the jet ski.

Orcas in the water
Sea dog. Even acts like one.
He's probably trying to rest and soak up sun while hunting food. Or trying to avoid being a prey to some orcas.
Die Kleine wollte einbisschen Sicherheit.
Awe heβs so adorable π₯°
Animal abuse
He needs a little lifeguard vest.
