Watch The Cute Moment When A Seal And Butterfly Become Friends

Sep 07, 2018

For a seal at the zoo, life cannot be that exciting. You see the same friends and places every single day. Whenever something comes along to break up the monotony, it is a moment to be excited about.

One seal discovered a beautiful butterfly in this adorable video.

Kaya is a harbor seal at the Oregon Zoo. While most of her days are spent swimming through her enclosure, a butterfly recently captured her attention.

In this adorable video, Kaya discovers a butterfly flying right next to her enclosure.

The sweet seal is completely transfixed by the pretty butterfly. As the butterfly flies next to the tank, she follows it everywhere it goes. She is so absorbed by watching the flying insect that she presses her nose against the tank to get as close as possible. 

In the video, Kaya is absolutely adorable. At the end of the video, she starts to wave at the butterfly next to her.

This entire scene was captured by Micah Reese. Micah works at the zoo and was lucky enough to be nearby with a camera when the adorable interaction started. 

On the zoo's website, Kaya is described as being brave and curious. This video definitely shows her being brave as she discovers a butterfly flying next to her.

It turns out that this is not the only time that Kaya has met another species. Earlier in the year, the zoo's workers recorded Kaya and her fellow seals meeting two baby goats.
