Musical animals are nothing new so we understand if you’re asking yourself, “What’s so special about a musical sea lion?” Well, the answer to that is that Ronan isn’t just a musical sea lion; Ronan is the first non-human mammal to keep a beat!
In the video below, you can see Ronan’s trainer at the University of California explaining how Ronan was taught how to recognise and keep up with a beat and eventually Ronan learned to pick up the beat by himself!
The funky sea lion now is able to “dance” to soul hitmakers Earth, Wind and Fire as well as to modern fan favourites, the Backstreet Boys!
Check out Ronan and his adorable moves in the video below:
