Game of chase: Oregon seal meets butterfly in zoo

PORTLAND, Ore. (FOX 13) - A seal at the Oregon Zoo became transfixed when a butterfly showed up at its exhibit.

Kaya is a young harbor seal living in the “Stellar Cove,” which replicates the Pacific Ocean. Micah Reese, a dive safety officer, stumbled into the adorable encounter between two creatures who probably never seen each other before.

The butterfly was seen fluttering around the tank, which is seen in video Reese captured. Kaya swims and follows the butterfly. At one point, she tries to use her fin to reach out to it.

It was possibly the cutest game of chase. By the end of the video, Kaya swims off screen.
