Playful seal hitches a ride on man's kayak
- 7 years ago
Amusing footage of a seal hitching a ride on a man's kayak while he's paddling in the Forth Estuary, Scotland.
The video, filmed on February 5, shows the cute animal climbing up onto the boat, despite the kayaker feeling a little apprehensive about the experience.
The filmer later wrote online: "we noticed a seal following us; this is normal when kayaking but this seal was coming closer than normal. I was taking photos and video of it and I was dropping back from the rest of the kayakers. I had dropped back about 50 metres behind two friends when the seal decided to come in for a close look at the back deck of my kayak. I was wary as it is a wild animal, and only a few feet away. It showed little fear and no sign of aggression."
