Check out this adorable moment a playful baby sealion interrupts a tourist’s quiet beach afternoon in the Galápagos Islands.
Polly Frier, 30, from the UK, was relaxing on San Cristobal Island on October 24th when the curious animal decided to approach her.
Armed with her camera, Polly was filming sealions from a respectful distance — as local rules require staying at least two metres away. But this baby sealion clearly didn’t get the memo.
The tiny creature can be seen waddling over, heading straight toward Polly and her camera to investigate.
Polly said: “I was just sat enjoying the beach when it came running up to me — it was adorable and so funny!”
Sealions are known for their inquisitive nature, and encounters like this are a common delight for visitors to the Galápagos.
One user commented: ‘That baby sealion is braver than most adults I know!’
A second added: ‘Imagine chilling on the beach and getting a visit from this cutie!’
