The Residents

Too Friendly

He Wants To Chill
YouTube, CBS 8 San DiegoEd Hartel, a videographer and drone operator said, “He’ll sit there for five or ten minutes and then paddle out to another surfboard, and he just does it all morning long.”
He’s An Orphan
UnsplashPeople are wondering what the reason is for the baby seal’s behavior, and as it turns out, there are some people who saw a great white shark eat the baby seal’s mom, and the poor pup has been stuck at the beach since then.
Concerned Citizens

He’s Fine

Part Of The Experience
