Sea Hare Encounter Gives 'Memorable Moment' to Snorkeler

A passionate snorkeler who lives in Ciudad Madero, Mexico, experienced a real highlight when her hobby gave her a mesmerizing encounter with a sea hare.

Susan Aide Morales Cruz told Storyful she has spent years documenting local marine life around Playa Miramar.

“That day, it was already late, and out of nowhere, I saw the sea hare coming as if it were flying through the great blue. It really hypnotized me, and I went swimming behind it. I began to record it and followed it for a long time, maybe 30 minutes,” Morales Cruz told Storyful.

“It is rare to find this species here where I live. It was a wonderful scene, the combination of the majesty of the animal and the sunset. A very memorable moment,” she added. Credit: Susan Aide Morales Cruz via Storyful
