Ross Long is a wildlife and ocean photographer in Australia with a sense of humor. He recently took a bunch of videos of eagle rays and pieced them together to make an entire Reel of the little creatures leaping from the ocean and then belly flopping back in. His video was such a hit on Instagram that he made a second one using the same leaping-eagle-ray footage, but this time with some hilarious audio.

“You’ll want your sound on for this,” Long wrote in his Instagram post sharing the second video. “Due to popular demand, I thought I owe it to everyone to add this audio because all people could hear from this video was weeeeeeeeeeeee. How cute are these little jumping eagle rays?”
Long’s hashtags suggest he took the videos on or near Heron Island, a coral cay in the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.
“I stood on this jetty for 2 hours trying to get these videos! Totally worth it right??” joked Long in a comment. Judging by the number of views the two videos racked up, it was definitely worth it for all the chuckles.
