Dancing in the Lion’s Den

Do you ever have that moment where you think it’s gonna be a handshake & they go for a hug? It’s awkward, right? You’re kinda fumbling around, not sure what to do next. Ethan Baker had a few seconds like that recently, but it ended up with something incredible!

Ethan’s 15 years old & was snorkeling off the coast of Baja, California with his dad, when a Sea Lion came up to him – swam around for a few seconds to kinda scope things out – and then gave Ethan a big bear hug … err, lion hug.  

It was a good minute or two of Ethan and this sea lion almost doing a kind of slow dance underwater.  It really is a pretty cool thing to see, and dad got it all on video.

That’s getting closer to nature than you bargained for! Check it out!
