Hey, it's your spirit animal.

You know those times when you're too lazy to walk, and take the bus instead? This seal might just be your spirit animal.

This little puppy of the sea was captured hitching a ride on the front of an unnamed ship that was heading into Melbourne, Australia on Monday morning, lying flat as a pancake along the vessel's bulbous bow.

The ship was making its way up the Yarra River, according to 7 News. Although we do wonder how the seal got onto the ship in the first place, considering it was coming in to shore from the sea. Unfortunately, there's no detail on this.

Sigh. Don't you wish you were this seal right now?
