Did you know Seals are the chill champs! They rock a cozy blubber coat to stay warm and use their flippers as fancy radiators to cool down. If things get too hot, they just catch some shade or lift a flipper for a breezy cool-off. Talk about sleek survival skills!

Incredible experience with a very curious family of Orca. Our boat was turned off as they swam underneath us. Thanks to our crew Taylor Rabbitt for capturing this beautiful encounter.
