Video: Sea lion catches fishing boat and jumps on board An amusing video has emerged of a sea lion jumping onto the back of a fishing boat. The video, captured off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico late last month, shows the determined seal trailing behind the boat before leaping on board to collect a piece of fish. After collecting the fish, the sea lion reverses back into the sea and swims away. "Sea Lions often follow fishing boats in Cabo San Lucas in the hope of getting a free meal," the filmer wrote online.
