A Whole New World: Pacific Harbor Seal Meets Butterfly

The Oregon Zoo didn’t stop at introducing this seal to just one new buddy.

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.
