Nobody else was stupid to go swimming right in front of the seals. Ropes and signs on the beach were placed for a reason. Learn the hard way but they should of pay a fine
Okay her argument is non-valid. She said she could not hear the people yelling at her and warning her to get out, she said she could not hear the life guards. Supposedly this video was shot by her husband from their hotel room(?). I call bs on her, you can clearly hear the people on the shore yelling at her, you can hear the seal mama vocalizing. At one point she starts to swim away from the mama, then stops and turns toward the seal till it gets to her and she tries to swim away. She is like 15-20 yards away from shore and she stays in the water. Aiyah.
Why can't we people leave the poor animals alone ?? Why?? .... What did they ever do to you and you don't leave them a moment's peace.... Never swim with seals, dolphins ,school of fish, or stingrays, scientists say all the time... Sharks could attack you. Also, animals with pups, are aggressive to protect their young, birds do it, dogs do it , cats do it and seals (!) do it... 🤔 Maybe there was a shark in the area and she was trying to protect her baby , or maybe they were trying to rest before they get back into the ocean. Don't bother wildlife, it's irresponsible behavior to say the least 😡😡😡
@@808frost3 Doubt it - "Karen", will probably sue for mental anguish and a host of other things and probably petition to have the "animal" put down... Those people do it to dogs - all the time...
Good to see Monk seals at Kaimana beach. Years ago all you saw were haoles and strippers getting tanned. Use to have polished glass wash up on shore, years ago.
Smh when are we going to learn a tiger is a tiger like a Seal is a Seal? People play with animals so much now they think tigers, lions, buffalos, dolphins and poor seals are personal pets too I guess. These are animals ( wild) not your cats and dogs. Even though I love all animals but come on this has gotten ridiculous. I pray the women is ok and the same for the Seals. 🙏....
What was them signs saying, what a fool....she was lucky the signs wasnt saying great white shark or saltwater croc with nursing pup, play silly games win silly prizes...
Seriously. Seals are way bigger in real life than what people think and their teeth are huge. Throw motherly instinct in the mix and it is a recipe for disaster. This woman was very lucky as it could have been worse. Maybe her nightmares will keep her from ignoring signs in the future.
The person could of just swim away and get on the sand the person was close enough and also when the person wasn't right near the seals the mother seal left the swimmer alone but the swimmer kept turning towards the baby any good mother will protect there children weather you are human or animal your babies are your babies end of
That "guy" is actually a woman... with a permanent ugly scar on her face, to forever remind of her arrogance in not heeding the warnings of the volunteers, from the Hawaiian Monk Seal conservancy group that were there early that morning. Although the title states that "lifeguards were warning the female swimmer", that is incorrect = The Kaimana Beach lifeguard had not arrived yet as the beach was closed to swimmers as is always the case when the resident female Hawaiian Monk Seals; Rocky and Kaiwi, are nursing a pup.
The area is roped off and blocked. She shouldn’t be there in the first place. The Hawaiian monk seals are very endangered and the both state and federal governments are trying to protect the animals. As u can see, nobody else is swimming in that area because there’s are so many signs not to go swim in that area in this particular time because of the mother and her pup. Kamaina is a popular swimming spot here in Waikiki but nobody is swimming there now due to the mother and pup.
Do we need to save stupid people because they ignored all the signs and rope off area. She saw the seals at the beginning of the video, instead of swim away, she decided to swim toward it.
