This may just be the best photo-bomb ever.

An adorable green sea turtle made quite the unexpected appearance in tourist Diovani de Jesus's group photo.

'We were posing at Apo Island when this sea turtle surfaced to breathe and photo-bombed,' de Jesus wrote on his blog.

An adorable green sea turtle pulled off the ultimate photo-bomb, crashing this group photo in the Philippines

The shallow water in Apo Island, Negros Oriental, Philippines is a feeding ground for sea turtles, so spottings aren't uncommon.

However, it is rare that one of the endangered animals would come so close - or look so intently into the camera.

Posting the photo on Earth Day, de Jesus adds: 'Just like what my friend Genesis said, this is a reminder that humans and creatures like this gentle pawikan can co-exist.'

This particular island is one of the world's best known community-managed marine protected areas.

The turtles are traditionally found in tropical and subtropical waters, travelling long distances between feeding areas and the beaches where they are hatched.
