Ah c’mon. This little guy is adorable. And if you disagree, you’re a soulless monster. (Is that too harsh? We don’t think so after watching this video.) A couple riding off of the Pacific Coast stopped to observe some wildlife when all of the sudden a curious seal pup approached. The Sea-Doo (we believe to be a SPX) was off, so the direct injection two-stroke didn’t scare him away. Rather, the gentle lapping of water is heard clearly as the two greet their new friend.
The pup first investigates the craft and its occupants before swimming around to the rear and wriggles aboard the swim platform. He makes a few grunts, looks around and finding nothing all too interesting, decides to leap back into the water. Of course, as cute as this little guy is, it is worth noting that seals and sea lions are in the same caniform carnivora branch as bears and wild dogs, so maybe the guy’s prompt to “give him a little pet” is a bad idea after all.
