Sea lion jumps onto the back of a moving speedboat

A funny video has emerged from the US of a sea lion hanging onto the back of a moving speedboat.

The footage, filmed off the coast of California on December 4, shows the large creature barking while the people on the boat feed it fish.

The filmer later wrote online: "Sea Lion hanging out on the back of our boat being fed the finest of fish, and what a friendly little pal he was.

"Not sure what the bump on his head is though."
