Nobody Invited the Sea Lion. He Joined the Canoe Race Anyway.

During a team canoe race in Monterey, California, six paddlers were giving it their all when an uninvited seventh competitor made his move. A sea lion launched himself out of the water and landed directly onto their racing boat.

The whole thing was captured on a camera mounted to the vessel. The crew's reaction? A few stunned seconds, then laughter, then one paddler summed it up perfectly: "That just happened."

The sea lion seemed entirely unbothered — he'd clearly made up his mind and executed his plan flawlessly. We don't know if the team won the race. We do know the sea lion won the day.
