MIAMI, Fla. - In preparation of Thursday's Major League Soccer SuperDraft on Thursday, Jonathan Mendoza and a few other MLS prospects spent Monday "kicking it around" with Salty the Sea Lion and friends at the Miami Seaquarium's iconic Golden Dome.

The soccer stars, who are currently competing at the 2013 adidas MLS Combine in order to showcase their skills in front of MLS coaches, took the time to interact with the animals at the Seaquarium for this heart-warming photo-op.
