Many locals and visitors took the opportunity to take a few sweet snaps and videos of the little companion. Authorities were informed about this guy's presence and the little guy is now being given some care. Just like our digital marketing mascot here at GuideMeMalta, we have gone ahead and christened him Jeff! 

Watch the video here:

Happy swimming, Jeff!
