A dancing sea lion has become an internet hit after bopping to the Backstreet Boys.
Named Ronan, the animal has entertained nearly a million people with her moves on YouTube as she enjoys the boyband's hit single 'Everybody'.
Watch the sea lion nod her head to the Backstreet Boys below (skip to 1:15):
In the uploaded video, Ronan is also seen enjoying 'Boogie Wonderland' by Earth, Wind & Fire.
The video is part of research conducted by the University of California, Santa Cruz looking into whether or not non-human mammals possess rhythmic awareness.
PhD student Peter Cook claimed that Ronan is more able to keep the beat than birds.
He stated: "[Birds are] good at finding the tempo in music, but don't seem to maintain the behaviour as reliably as Ronan. She stays right on the beat."
