Sea lion 'plays catch' with boys through glass at aquarium
The amazing bond between humanity and nature: Sea lion plays with young boys through a pane of glass at aquarium as they 'conduct' its moves
Animal spins its body around whenever the boys throw a stick in the air
When they throw it to each other it zooms horizontally across the water
Sea lions are intelligent animals that easily can be taught to perform
Sea lions have been delighting the public with their clever tricks for decades - and this clever animal is no exception.
The pinniped entertained two children as it responded to their movements by spinning and twisting in the water behind the glass at a Maryland aquarium.
Each time the boys, AnYuan, 9, and AnDi, 7, launch a stick into the air the sea lion flips its body around in a circle without fail.
When they change tactic and throw the item to each other it zooms to the side, as though tracking the stick.
Other time it charges upwards when they hurl the stick, occasionally disappearing from view.
Amazed onlookers film the incredible moment as the trio bond despite the transparent barrier between them.
The boys' father explained that seeing his sons 'training' the sea lion was a phenomenal moment.
Sea lions are intelligent animals that can be taught to perform many of their natural behaviours on cue.
They are also highly sociable and groups often rest closely packed together on land or float together on the ocean's surface in 'rafts.'
