Why would you like that

@@mladenbro8435 because its funny?

Unless an unfamiliar male comes out of nowhere. Then they'll just fart, grunt, and watch two males fight for mating rights.

Theyre usernames starts with M except for Me

@@aaronthingy4396 their*

And gets so close that they start warning him off. Very poor: if an animal is reacting to your presence, you're too close.

And drugs them

beeble2003 so long as he doesn't touch them and right up close the hell be fine, they won't go for him unless he directly ducks with them.

Oh man! I thought I was alone!

It has, I remember seeing that footage before. The town names that seal homer, I think, and he often comes into town and smashes into vehicles.

@@fenrirbaldur1156 - That's true, I just looked it up. (Thanks for the tip.) He uses the cars for practice! I think that's worse than confusion. Imagine your car being wrecked because an elephant seal just felt like using it for practice.

bruzote, The people over there: Well at least my car isn’t attacked by a seal. *Gets stabbed randomly instead*

"Hey boss, im gonna be late. An elephant seals on my car again"

Fenrir Baldur i hope they don’t hurt him because of that

Well, yeah. Normal type moves against a Steel type pokemon?

Soon gamefreak will get so lazy they will make a *car* pokemon

@@DuskLegend maybe rotom event lol

@@King_Nex They're fighting Dynamaxed Chargabugs.

​@@DuskLegendbro really predicted the future lmao ( revavroom being an engine Pokemon which is used for team stars vehicles)

LMAO 🤣

"Hello, my car has some damage." "Jezus, was your car attacked by an ellephant or something?" "Well, you're pretty close about that."

considering they have a video of it it would be quite easier to explain than a traditional accident back then

Farmers Insurance has seen a thing or two

Hope they've got Farmers.... They've seen a thing or two 😉

Then send that bill to MR. BIG NOSE.

What are they gonna do? Run after him?

@@danodden9783 They can't exactly 'run', it is more of a graceful wobbly slither.

@@Lunies666 Bruh. That's my point.

And then they shoot one up and stick a thermometer up its ass

Lunies ..and touches them

Lol

Pretty sure they're classified as marine mammals

Unless he meant the Alaskan grizzly (aka Kodiak) bear, which rivals the polar bear in size.

@@Th0ughtf0rce True. In terms of which is the biggest, they're pretty much interchangeable

The Grizzly from the Alaska can be as large as a Polar Bear. Their average sizes and the largest specimens have been pretty much about the same. Neither is anywhere near as large as a Southern Elephant Seal MALE.

The head of a polar bear seems thinner than a grizzly bear though But anyway, yup the polar bear isn't considered a land predator, it's a marine predator Not that it can't hunt on land at all, but they usually don't because their main prey are fatty animals (especially seals) that they hunt on drifting ice in winter and they pretty much spend the summer starving Note that even though it's shorter, the grizzly bear is the most likely winner in case they were to meet, polar bears are way better hunters due mainly to their nose but the grizzly bear is way more muscular

+Jupiter Uuh, ooh, ooh. Eee, eee, eee! Aah, aah, aah!

+Imperial_orb ...Ting tang, walla walla bing bang?

Hey, I saw you in a Sinatra video under a comment about spring on jupiter

Leslie Chow What's you talkin bout?

Jupiter It's a "popular" place. You can get tours to the elephant seals around there. I saw some people walking around them on their own too. (Aka, I've been there. Hehe) You can't get to close and they'll make like a motor cycle engine noise to warn you off

Blinzer , Darn, and here I thought they were just donating these to be used as trampolines for the animals enjoyment!😁😁

Blinzer 'But why? Why would you do that?' - Jontron

what do you gain from it?

Elites fake news, it was a paid actor.

David Lima that car footage took place in New Zealand and, as far as I can remember, it was on the news so not faked. Happened over 20 years ago from memory.

Lol!

Ok Squidward, calm your tits

*oH mY*

best joke, this is why i love internet)

"Hello, State Farm? No, he wasn't wearing khakis. In fact, he wasn't wearing pants. He beat my car up and then dove off the pier. PLEASE, BELiEVE ME!!!"

That's probably why he was recording. 🤣

State Farm: and we covered it! “A sealed deal,” we know a thing or two, because we’ve seen a thing or two. *we are farmers, bum ba-dum bum bum bum bum*

I don't know about cars and elephant seals, but sea lions get onto docks and boats all the time all along the California coast.

Gelatinous elephants

lol

I’ll take my elephant boneless.

*lying *on the ground

And with a shorter trunk

I thought that was a New Zealand number plate. Didn't know we got seals that big!

He was trying to bang his competitors? A very confused gaylephant seal then.

What a fucking idiot.

Lmfao im dead... I forgot all about this and his name homer.

"Banged the cars" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 you don't mean what I am thinking lol I'm dying

Tallest human ever:yesnt

​@aguyonasiteontheinternet578 although no evidence bigger gets you more success lol

​@@aguyonasiteontheinternet578if anything probably not because its rare

@@ishrendon6435 Let me introduce you to this funny little thing called joking. It’s a lot, I know, but you’ll get used to it after a while.

Dalton Pinell 😂 giant water sausage..

Dalton Pinell nation side is on your side

011 *nation wide lol

Nation Side is on your wide.

Dalton Pinell ...i believe farmers covers elephant seal damage.

I would too...

They're not land mammals. You can out run them easily.

Indrid Cold I suspect you are projecting you cheap shot half wit.

Can it. I weigh more than you, but can easily move faster than you, including stairs. Yeesh the arrogance of dainty people like you. Do you need someone to hold your umbrella for you in the rain, as you can't lift it yourself?

It's a totally understandable reflex-- he knows they're big and dangerous, so flinching when they move is just natural and automatic

Cool experience, it's organized now, with boardwalks and fencing. Probably a good idea now that so many people are trying to get photos while they tongue kiss a bison in Yellowstone. It's still sweet up there on the Central Coast, Cambria and the other little towns, started going up in the 80's but didn't go see the seals until recently.

This is proper english. He is saying two different examples. Another way of wording this would be “... prehistoric dinosaur.. or maybe a sabertooth cat.” Maybe goes before the new option while perhaps comes after, but they both have the same meaning. Another example “would you like some coffee?.. Tea perhaps?”

@@bobbyknuckles6380 Mr. Whittaker, I think his comment is not regarding the grammar, but rather that sabertooth cats are not dinosaurs

@@AuNinjamuffin The grammar proves that the speaker doesnt think so either

@@AuNinjamuffin the grammar proves the point, consider his example, “would you like some coffee?.. Tea perhaps?” he is not saying that tea is coffee, just like steve isnt saying a sabertooth cat is a dinosaur.

@@AuNinjamuffin Bruh, that's the point. It's not meant to be the same, what do you mean?

@@bskee001 You really thought that was funny

Bryam Vasquez Alriiiight, I knew it was a retarded joke and not funny. I was just stretching too hard. 😔

Yeah sorry bro. Just delete the comment and you good.

@@bryamvasquez3057 LMAO! Okaaayyy...

The way he flinched while holding the tooth 😂😂😂 yup he ded

@@alleniversonisabeast I was thinking the same haha this was filmed a few years ago though. Steve backshal

Lmfao

Deavon Manson lol yeah.

Today we're going to be learning about the Squidward seal

The thumbnail can be played as a gif if you hover over it..

Deavon Manson your not kidding

I think that happened in New Zealand. We have a reasonably large elephant seal population and they occasionally cause trouble, but it's not like you can argue with them.

Mr SteezyOctopus Personal*

Mr SteezyOctopus don't give SJW libtards ideas..

He was more than 3 feet away but the female was nearing him to protect her young

Just like fat women in real life 💀

That one guy.

That's why they're called ELEPHANT seal!!!!!!! Smh!!!!

Destroy a car with your bulk, obviously!!

Congratulations by the way

@Stefan Goerke Typically, elephant seals smack eachother with their necks, so that would be a sight to see.

🤣🤣🤣

Ha, me too.

+jonah holmes Lol XD

Yes, you can purchase that along with volcano and alien attack insurance.

:3

Just worked my way through my grandma's insurences (no, she ain't dead, just revisiting old contracts). Turns out she actually has an insurance to pay for damage cause by uninsuranced planecrashes. I kid you not.

Oh, I was expecting a seal in traffic that was going to shut down the entire road system for the state.

true , immediately thought it was a fake thumbnail... but nope D: That IS surprising.

@@MasterYoda389 Due to me being blind as a bat, I thought that was a scene of a car in traffic with one in front of it.

its way more jumpy than that of a bronco.... better put on some hot glue on your pants then stick it on the skin of this animal haha..

YAH! Got ye the 80th like.

Evan Khan i think it would be more useful as a battle jetski.

Evan Khan no but u can stick a suicide vest to it

They're probably familiar with it by now considering it's not the first time that particular seal did that to someone's car

He called Farmers Insurance and they laughed and then hung up on him.

Elephant seal insurance. I can imagine a geico commercial where the gecko gets chased by a elephant seal lol

aubergine man This would be better as a farmer's insurance company commercial. You have the seal slam his weight against the fender till it breaks a fender. Voice "elephant seal attack. We cover it all because we've seen it all close.

RazorBeak makes sense cuz they can’t deal with southern elephant seals cuz they bigger
