The Seal Takes The Lead
After they “shook hands,” the seal clung to Grayson’s arm with its flippers. Because they’d never had such close contact before, Grayson and his colleague simply let the seals take the lead. They had no idea how to deal with the situation. Surprisingly, the majority of scuba divers do not work as animal trainers. Grayson, on the other hand, stayed still while the seal stroked its head and neck against his arm.
Odd Behavior
Divers who go into bodies of water to investigate animals generally swim with a pod of seals for days until the seals trust them. The seals require that amount of time to determine whether or not the humans pursuing them are safe to approach.
