A hair-raising video that has surfaced on social media features a mysterious sea creature chasing a boat with a fisherman on board. The 45-second video that was filmed off Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil left everyone in shock, reports Daily Star.
In the now viral video, the unidentified sea creature can be seen repeatedly jumping out of the water and it appears to be trying to chase the speedboat with the fisherman on board. The terrifying moment appears to have been captured by the unidentified man on the boat. At one point he got quite close to the speedboat. The creature’s eyes can also be seen glowing in the dark. Since there was hardly any light, it was quite difficult to determine which creature it was. However, it was nothing like we have seen before.
The video was posted on Twitter and captioned in Portuguese, which translates to “A mysterious creature chased a boat yesterday in Rio Grande do Sul.”

O autor do vídeo escreveu que o animal queria ataca-lo, final, por que mais estaria seguindo o barco? Quem será essa criatura misteriosa?
Provavelmente, uma foquinha inofensiva! pic.twitter.com/RvjSPA1dxq— Pedrohenriquetunes (@PedroHTunes) January 27, 2022
Essa estranha criatura marinha é, na verdade, um pinípede – uma foca or um leão-marinho. Set of species of animals frequentam o RS, algumas com tamanhos e aparências assustadores (como a foca-leopardo, animal de ate quase 4 meters e meu palpite para o animal do vídeo pic.twitter.com/oiXqDcLW0z

Curiosos por natureza, pinipedes frequently seguem embarcações, sobretudo lasting at night. São animais extremamente rápidos (ultrapassam 40 km/h) and têm o costume de nadar saltando dessa forma. pic.twitter.com/e5U0tKH0ZA

Seus olhos brilhantes revelam sua capacidade de enxergar no escuro, uma vez que esse brilho vem de uma estrutura conhecida como Tapetum lucidum, uma membrana dentro do olho presente em animais com hábitos noturnos, que auxilia a captar uma maior quantidade de luz do ambiente. pic.twitter.com/Vy08NH4Rmb

Essa fica aí, não. Essas são do hemisfério norte e lentas. Se o vídeo realmente foi feita no RS(dúvidas), deve ser um leão, lobo – marinho ou uma foca leopardo.
