Sea and air formed an unlikely pair at Portland's Oregon Zoo Tuesday in video captured by dive instructor Micah Reese.
The nearly minute-long clip shows Kaya the Pacific harbor seal getting acquainted with a butterfly that made its way to her glass enclosure. From follow-the-leader to waving, it's clear Kaya enjoyed getting to know the strange creature from the other side of the glass.

As if one new friend wasn't enough, a later tweet from Oregon Zoo showed the introduction of Kaya to a porcupine and a pair of goats.
