Seal has a 'snuggle' with diver
Footage of a diver getting a "surprise cuddle" from an affectionate seal off the coast of California, USA.
The video, filmed on January 29, shows free diver John Sahas encountering the young seal off underwater off the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
The filmer later wrote online: "Note that the free diver acted appropriately by NOT seeking out, chasing, following, touching, petting, feeding, or in any way provoking an interaction with this marine protected animal.
"The animal approached of its own accord and the diver remained still until it left."
