This video is of two clips. The first is where Elvis finds me at the beginning of our 25th dive together. The second clip is near the end of the dive where he’s gotten his fill of food and we’re just chilling.

Many people get the impression that he’s solely interested in food, but there’s been multiple dives where he completely refused food, or others where he eats to his fill, and then refuses. In both instances, he’s still interested in staying right by me for the entire dive. I didn’t even get the idea to try finding him food until the near end of our 2nd dive together. No, he was not a pet that was released. No, this isn’t filmed in an aquarium. These are all completely wild animals that I’ve built a bond with. I know for some people this is hard to believe, but I’m able to befriend just about any kind of animal.

There’s much more to our animal friends than popular science or cultural consensus will have you believe. Follow me for more fun and exploration into the wonderful world of animal consciousness.
