When a pod of whales were going to town on a fresh batch of fish, one seal gave absolutely zero fucks about his/her safety and went for a cheeky hitch-hike on the back of one whale.

Taking place off the NSW south coast near Eden, the gutsy fur seal wasted no time to get in on the action.

Photographer Robyn Malcolm, who was whale watching at the time, said she didn’t realise what had occurred until she looked at her pictures and saw the incredible image.

Talking to The Sydney Morning Herald, Malcolm confirmed that the viral image had not been doctored… “I’m positive, because I don’t know how to use PhotoShop. And I do still have it on the camera so I can prove it.”
