INCREDIBLE Encounter with Friendly Baby Elephant Seal [EXTENDED CUT] 

Look likes a worm

@@idontcarelol2170 it bought a tear to my eye. Literally

tkcaingt Playz awwww

Like it really needed to have a feet

he just gotta take his time and wiggle

Exactly what i kept thinking!!

I would've cuddle thing

You and me both sir

They are obviously scientists: just observe...

@@theblackwoodwitch452 okay....

Think of it this way... Seals have full range of motion, sharp teeth, powerful bite, and a mouth teaming with bacteria. It's a really bad combo. If his bite doesn't kill you, the infection likely will.

Carlos Danger 3:38 "Streeeeetch (farts)😮" requires a little extra effort with all that fat😂

Adil Sunesara and a thick layer off fat to protect them

If they can do it, why can't fathead humans can't?

Me: Do you have a spine? Walrus: idk.. bruh what you think..

I feel great pain 😍😍😍

A hundred kilos is not enough to break an adults leg unless it's dropped from a certain height.

@@calebstephan2083 Thank you my physic friend

They are cute haha

@@assassin4rent 🤣

Yeah so cute that waddle

😆😆

Haha gpod one

*bacc

He bend wayyy over ;)

you fucked the meme up

Butchered...

Probably yes but humans can’t pet him/her because he/she is going to be bullied by other seals if they do so. They protected him/her from a violent death or severe injuries.

Plus, it’s not allowed to even touch wild animals.

@@rachaelinoue9180 Can,,,can you please elaborate on that? ;-;

Thank you for your inquiry but I’m not professional about animals. I’m just a student. So far, I’ve learned that the reason for the touching restriction is because we have to prevent animals from getting used to humans. If we keep playing with them, they will recognize humans as non-threat. It results in more numbers of poaching and killings by bad people, because they just don’t run away from them. It could lead to endangering animals or even the loss of species. Thank you for asking😊 If there are any English mistakes, please let me know🙏

@@rachaelinoue9180 Oh, seems fair enough, something to keep in mind while on natural ecosystems, I guess, thanks!!!!!

and that's just the humans

its my dog

Why am I suddenly reminded of a dethklok song... 🤔

Should be fat neck or fat neek

@@myfairlahey5738 that's your mom

Lol

Oh wow 😂😂😂

Exactly! he obs wants something. Can he at least get pets?

@@formershadow unfortunately no, wildlife photographers are not allowed to interact with them to avoid the from getting attached

Hahahaha lmao lol water sausage 😂😂😂

Lol water sausage

AU KiNGZ I prefer Sea Pupper

AU KiNGZ I prefer sea Weinber

sea cucumber*

pooch patted*

@The Blo0P why ?

The Blo0P I think it’s because when photographers are taking photos of wild animals, they’re not supposed to make more curious animals used to humans. I think it’s more to protect the animals than us, so they still have a reaction about danger.

if its a seal pup if you touch it the mother may not think it is theirs and leave it alienated. the smell of human contact bothers them I guess??

Qiuji B exactly.

Hope you're ready to pay the fine. Might be worth it though.

I didn't know about the protection act until now. Thank you though. 😀

@@kuyagelo9827 nobody has to know 😂🤫

@@Caidezes For petting a seal I would gladly pay that 15k fine

Illegal or not I just hope it doesn’t harm the animal in any way

I would squeeze it to death and blame the elephants seals that are miles away from the pup.

@@newbiechu7024 it looks soooooooo squiiiiiiishhhhhhhhyyyyyy I frick love itt

@@kenopofficial7 the seal is so squishy, I don't think I can resist hugging it.

newbie CHU don’t worry that fatty won’t be squeezed to death by a human

Or get chased by a Grizzly Bear lmao

Yes

Yes

This is seal of approval

Lol yes 🧡🧡

i think it's more likely that Naruto is penguin-running

James Liggins i dont get it since your joke is too confusing -_-

I’m literally losing my shit

amazing

Penguins are the real shinobi

Because it would mask the seals scent from the seals mother, and it would starve to death without its parents.

@Grim Reaper oml....I thought it was true😭

wildlife photographers are prohibited from interacting with anything. plus specifically with seals, its not good for them to get relaxed around humans

@@toddhoward7649 Crap, the seal had rubbed all over their clothing already, they were just dull cold-hearted people.

Out There Pictures why couldn’t they pet this little angel

MilkyWay2001 because doing so will increase the risk of animals not seeing humans as a threat. meaning poachers will come and kill these little babies, but they’ll just think they’re going to pet them :(

purgatoryflesh THATS SO SAD 😭

@@deceitfulviper I really don't think it would've made a difference. The fact that they didn't actively attack it or try to scare it off is enough to teach it not to be afraid of them. Offering food would be a different thing because it would teach the seal to actively seek out humans in hopes of receiving food. The simple act of petting it or touching I don't think would motivate it to approach humans anymore than their behavior in this video did.

i'm glad somebody else understands that that's the only reason they're not petting... i keep seing *"It's because they'll bite your arm off!"* and I'm like "no...it's not."

I see its great potential as alternative nutrition resource. I wonder if it tastes like steak or fish.

Ignorance

Jacob Lofthus I see the fires of vengeance in its eyes and the suffering it endured as its family was ruthlessly slaughtered by orcas

I saw big bubbly eyes asking : could you be my mommy / are you food ?

This is the type of comment that should get 6000k+ likes lmao

I'm laughing my ass off reading this

Hahaha they actually started walking pretty fast 😂

he's in heat thats why he all on them like that.

Seals eat penguins? That makes me feel a little better about orcas eating seals

Seth Porter were did you get your profile picture its cool.

ه

I literally laughed out loud at this. Thank you.

daysia222 You're welcome!

Lol I died XD thank you for this comment😂😂😂😂😂

I,laik a.plidos

Elephant seals are the largest pinnipeds in the world. (Pinnipeds is the family of mammals that includes seals, sea lions and walrus.) A full-grown male elephant seal gets up to about 6 thousand pounds, and in some cases 8 thousand pounds. They can stay underwater up to 100 minutes at a time, which is the longest of any non-cetacean (whales and dolphins) mammal. Very amazing creature. :)

Mary Schultz Male adults are also ugly as hell.

Papadoc1981 Not according to the lady elephant seals! Lol

Mary Schultz Yeah, you got me there.

Jason Li It's called gallumphing! Such a great name for that movement 😅

Ren don't worry I love yoy

oni i think this is blood of fish , you can see it on the land

Good pun

I think this seal is civilian

Perfectly placed in the comments to give me a good laugh ;) TY

You are weird for them too

@@martinregular5003 yea and not in a good way lmao

This reply chain was just awful to read.

Isabel Lopez same with me

I love Puerto Rican Mamis too 🇲🇽☝ !

Baby elephant seals can't get in the water unless they're old enough. Whatever, I still get your joke.

Because we don't know your Language duh

Cringe

That's why you should never go on such a tour...

wtf ?

If it would be an adult, they would give it a wide berth - adults are freaking BIG! And males are very aggresive to boot.

Lmao all these little kids saying a grown man wanting to hug a seal is cringy. Gtfo, guys. You aren't even human if you can't help but squeal at the sight of seeing a baby seal like the one in the video.

I would have failed that class 😁😄😃😅😀😃

Seal's scores: 98, 85, 67, 88 My score:

That would propably cost an arm and a leg.

Priscilla Kleppe SAMMEEE!!

It's*

Sinep perhaps you should grow a brain. It's not about courage to pet him, it's illegal to do so. Plus you're not supposed to interfere with marine animals anyway.

Priscilla Kleppe that's exactly what I was just thinking lol

@Matix 777 your great

Miyu Martinez when I saw pieced it all together, I died XD

Brent Yun XDDD glad to hear that 😁

Miyu Martinez r

Miyu Martinez ii

Just lost it. Thank you internet lmao

He broke the number one rule. *No. 1 Rule: DON'T pet the seals!* He was bitten and later died of a blood infection.

Navy "seals".. ok i get it

/thread

good one, lol!

It's illegal to approach, touch or harass any marine mammal (a category of which seals fall under), and seals can carry diseases and other things of the sort that can be transmitted when touched. It's dangerous to approach and pet a seal physically and when it comes to the law. Don't ask how I know this lmao.

@@sovereign683 woahhh never knew that and I dont see it as good reasons tbh but thanks for explaining

Yeah the laws make no sense. You can sit and let a seal lay right up on you etc but god forbid you pet the poor waterdoggo

@@Dafabi They usually say it's best that a wild animal doesn't lose it's fear of humans, but these seals obviously aren't afraid!

@@sovereign683 does this not apply to indigenous people or something??!!? I’ve seen far too many tiktok videos of ppl spearing belugas and seals/walruses:((

+zxcvb man your willy is soft AF then

mine us softer and I can prove it

It's disturbing that the seal was denied being petted.

@@weddell2543 But I wouldn't resist not to touch the seal. They are beautiful.

One word predators.

uh I don't wanna alarm you but..... *killer whales* those that they put in parks but they are both very adorable

I think they are evolving to depend on humans just like dogs are right now but that’s just a theory a game theory!

@@hassankingiraq don't forget about polar bears

Not to a seal. Their stomachs are made of tough fat.

They are actually immune to bring cut, even swords, but the weight of the sword will hurt

LMAO

😂😂😂

you just made my day! Thank you!

But then the sea lion would grow to trust humans, and humans will take advantage of that fact and kill them.

+Ghengis1221 I hate to do this but that's an Elephant Seal

+Ghengis1221 I know it's so sad

Exactly, I kept thinking throught the entire video "just pet it ffs"

They were on an eco-tour - the rule is "don't touch the animals" but if the animals touch you it's okay to sit there quietly. It's for everyone's safety: Mama Seal is the size of an SUV, and if she shows up you don't want to be caught hugging her 300lb baby.

or his fingers. it's still a wild animal and should be treated as such

Vishal S hello racist

you have to resist. unless you want to keep it

I like people who can only see race and make everything about race, people like MLK would for sure be proud. Discrimination based on race is racism which is ironically (ironic because you'd most likely say you're against racism) what you're doing here. Also, look at all the affection they show each other in areas with homogeneous/majority black populations. Places like Chicago and Nigeria and Rwanda are doing great with all their innate affection they have from being non-white.

From petting cute baby seals to Neo-Nazi racism. This is why I come to youtube bois

Maybe because it is Antarctica and this pup saw people firs time in his life...

Joanna B you sure that's Antarctica

Nvm

calvin921023 elephant seals are apex predators, why would a five ton animal with large teeth fear a pasty human 1/4 its size?

The Knave Of Swords why do we fear bugs? Even if they can't kill us and we can destroy them

I funny the way they blubber around

+Michael Belz blub

+Theaura AJ AWSOME AND CUITE

they are so fucking cute!

Especially since it's only a baby

Depends on the breed, there are different types of Seal around the world.

For example Navy Seals, right... I heard they are quite agressive though... :D

Comert you are a legend!!!!

Very much so, the Navy Seals aren't to be taken lightly. I heard they took out a very rare elusive specie called Osama.

Kedarunzi sure thing dear bring him home so we can smell him

Same 4 me 🙂

Its illegal

@@wolfiegamerhowls4 Why? I'm guessing since it's a pup, it would alter their behavior or something? Is it just pups?

@@LMAODOODZ I think it's because it will change it's prospective of wild animals?? I don't know.

I think it’s illegal because if they get too close to humans they aren’t able to determine which are friendly and which aren’t. So the poor cute things will just scoot boop right up to a hunter. It also could be it messed with their heads about other animals but I’m not too positive on that. Especially if they’re pups

Weird doggo

Chez Buggas indeed

BeeKing Nahh thats normal

It's a bug, I think microsft is going to patch it

No it’s a cat obviously

XD

Bruh, it's a seal NOT a dog. Did you even read the title?

i suppose theres some rules about having contact with wildlife...esp if theyre so unused to human presense....in this case i guess they didnt want to get their human smell on em...after all its still an inphant that can get rejected for all kinds of reasons from its herd...its just cruel...mommy and daddy seal will tell their kid to go beat it just cause its fat or smells of human.... ;(

TheWimmse BUT ITS SO CUTE!

TheWimmse Guess you'd just have to take it home with you then.

"Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? You clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger of hugs. I am the hugs! A seal swims to shore and gets hugged and you think that of me!? No. I AM the one who hugs!" - Baby Seal

NEVER you should cuddle or hug a wild life animal. This is a Puppy and maybe the mother smells the humans. And then??? No more milk for the little one!

I love what you just wrote. Teehee

jarforsythe you can't cause the mother is gonna smell the scent and abandon the pup

Hufflepuff 101 didn't you watch the video? The seal already rubbed all over them, so it DOES NOT matter

The weirdo ...you still can't touch them......the mother can't smell it's belly -_- the rest of the body it's mother may smell + haven't you learned this shit in school about not touching wild animals....there's blood on the belly anyways

Hufflepuff 101 Im so sorry I told you what I was thinking! Oh no! By the way, the seal wasn't only touching them with it's belly.

Hufflepuff 101 AND yes I have learned not to touch wild animals, but this would be a exception, because, as I already said, the seal already touched them, not all wild animals are viscous, but it is a good idea to be cautious around them.

Leeza Ohhhhhh, I see what you did there.

Leeza (proceeds to take his thumb and index finger and pinch the bridge of his nose.)

Oh gosh no XD

Sadly you cant mate, its a strict rule to not pet them.

@@holygamer5525 says who? Who enforces that? The seal police??

@@williamunderhill427 www.cbsnews.com/news/officials-dont-touch-or-pick-up-seal-pups/

@@holygamer5525 just read it. #1 that's for the U.S., im in Canuckistan, and the video is in the north, so your rules dont apply. #2 every single quoted case involved extensive and egregious handling. Almost all quoted cases involved the pup being physically removed from the beach and taken home. One case was taken to the car. One case saw the pup handled by ppl and dogs for the whole day. Obviously that's not what i mean. I repeat: pet the chonky fool 😎

@@williamunderhill427 Ill admit that might have not been the best article to give to you but a point still stands, you are still not allowed to pet these lovable blobs since laws in most countries say so with the exception of professionals like researchers. for me its a dumb law but understandable, seals are quite endangered due to the fact that some twats like to capture these seals and sell them for their meat. Now the reason why this situation is correlated with petting them is because one, the seals might think that humans are friendly where in fact there are people who are NOT friendly. Two, if you start to pet them they will grow attached to you and that can cause some problems for example, they might not want to go back to their parents which is a total D-move. I understand your urge to pet them but for the sake of them not getting slaughtered for their meat and possibly cutting off their connections with their family I suggest you control your urges. there will be a time. P.S: I actually wanted to use an article from PETA but you know that their articles can be biased and unrealistic sometimes I don't want to sound rude but its the real world, there are good activists and there are bad activists

It'd be worth it for us youtubers :)
