Seal Vs Sea Lion: Who Would Win? 

leopard seals are OP IMO. It was so awesome collaborating with you dude! Keep up the great work.

2:19 - Before you visit Grandma 2:40 - After you visit Grandma

This channel has taught me more about The Meta than my previous 27 years of experience combined. Great Player Guides!

Fun detail: In Dutch we call Seals "Sea Dogs". So this is actually just the cat vs dog discussion all over again.

Sea lions: I spend most of my life in water but I can use my flippers as legs and move quickly on land Cetaceans: I am fully aquatic and have no need to go on land Polar bears: I spend most of my life on land but I can still swim and I can run quickly on land Hippos: I cannot float in water but thanks to that I can run underwater and can walk on land Seals: *flöp flöp*

DM: "I hate you" Me: *wheeze*

Sealion: BORK Orca: Yo dude chill I’m goin I’m goin!

Calling a sea lion a seal is like calling a guinea pig a hamster

Almost spat my drink across my laptop when I saw the bear evolution photo with fins.

Ooh, smash ultimate theme and D&D jokes. That’s a like right there.

You should've also mentioned the third member of pinnipeds, the walrus, which I think is easily C tier or higher. They're tanky enough to be safe from most predators, have both thick skin and blubber for defense, sharp tusks for offense and even team strategies.

3:04 That moment when you are ganked by your main predator, but behind him you see his main predator, so you juke drawing his line of sight so he doesn't turn and thus gets pked..... U got outplaid boi.

The opening DnD segment was amazing.

If a seal gains or loses an electron, it becomes a sea lion.

bruh there was actually a question practically the same as this video on my biology test

3:42 “why are those knees ending in sea lion faces...?”

Sealions are just seals without electrons

Fun fact. People who main sea lions or seals are toxic as hell, seriously, every time i try playing a penguin build they will just eat me even when they have their stomach bar full. Damn bastards.

2:52 when ur controller disconnects

Imagine being the octopus, hunting prey and then suddenly, your eaten. Even tho u posses a higher intellect, ur ded

No walrus?... Y U Bully me? :(

Sooooo seals are basically hairless sea bears?

I like how the name of the game is "THE GAME"

Dang that player at the beginning is so good at intimidation that even DM was scared and said “I hate you.”

It would be nice if you would talk about the Ants in their own video, some classes, like the Army Ant, are insanely powerful in numbers, tearing through entire ecosystems, being one of the most popular classes, having over 10 trillion players, I think they deserve a video.

Just draw a circle around yourself to get rid of them!

Orca: haha imma grief this n00b he ain't even running away Sealion:U WOT M8? orca: okay okay! Sheesh...

I love the thumbnail... the dolphin is sitting there like "I don't know... what do you want from me?"

Do the flightless bird tier list

Ha! Clearly not a DnD player. Everyone knows that Charisma is the dump stat for seals.

yeah but sea lions don't bounce cutely across the floor when they're trying to move seals > sea lions

The "MAKE PIKACHU LIBRE A GIRL" button at 5:39 slayed me. Idk how many times I've watched this before and I just now noticed it

Should we be calling them sea bears instead of sea lions?

for those wondering, essentially the "dive reflex" is accomplished by submerging face-down into cold water, and remaining calm almost like trying to sleep. My second year human physiology professor taught us it was discovered when they found that people who got knocked out after flipping their kayak or canoe, I can't remember which, would seem to be able to survive longer before rescue than what would be expected, and after that some scientist funded a study regarding it with methods similar to what is shown in this video. I never knew that it was an evolutionary trait that is shared with mammals. Really cool information, tierzoo, thanks again

4:34 "C'mon bruh! I just made the last payment!"

With this video, I’ve now watched every TierZoo video so far! Amazing content, I couldn’t stop 👏🏻❤️

Polar bears eat their distant cousins... Delicious near cannibalism!

DnD reference at the beginning. I love you, AnimalZoo

The picture of paws to flippers is so funny 😂 love those sea puppers! I love your videos so much! They are so high quality, entertaining, and educational! You seem like an amazing/cool person and very smart. I love the environment you manage to maintain in the comments too, people just coming together in character and talking about the weird biology facts they know 😊 it's all very fun, and we owe it all to you! Thank you!

LMAO the "PLS nerf" made me laugh so hard

is that even a question?

The electrical charge from having an unusual number of electrons would probably give a combat advantage, so I think a seal would lose to a seal ion

Hey Tier! Love your guides. I've been curious about Lagamorphs lately. Like, where hares and rabbits rank overall and how viable they are. Whats their teamplay like?

The vibe of these videos always makes me smile, keep it up ! Great work !

You missed one really important matchup that seals and sea lions both have against flashlights. If seals and sea lions are really just sea bears, flashlights would be their natural prey.

Orca op pls nerf

Just binge watched your entire channel in a procrastination effort. Love it dude!

And why is this awesome tier zoo video getting recommended now when I have been a fan for over 5 months?

Fun Fact: We also have Lions that live on the land. We call them Land Sea Lions.

Seal's are sea bears confirmed

5:10 Dude in the background just standing there watching 😂

bro these vids are so cool dude im learning so much healthy youtube at its best

Elephant Seals got a high intimidation stat IMO.

Hey Tierzoo! I have an idea for a video. Maybe you and PBS Eons could collab and create a video about 'the history of the meta'. It would be really cool to see how the different expansions and balance patches have affected the meta and the community. From the Cambrian to the Holocene.

Why no one still has not made TierZoo Game?!?! every single TierZoo fan would play that

thanks for the great guide i now know how to choose which build to play

Is a virus player trolling you again, TierZoo?

8-bit version of the Smash Ultimate theme? I love you.

You sir.. won the internet... best youtube channel!! Fcking love the concept! Im jelly ive didnt think of this myself!

🌊This video really helps me understand the difference as I struggle with it so thank you!🦁

THE WORST assumption new players can make when trying to create a marine build would be that dolphins are fish ^^

Someone is hype for Ultimate.

This is the only educational channel that I love to watch

3:10, poor squiwdy, he got third partied

Anyone who, like myself, plays a human main might have had reason to be grateful for the elephant seal's low mobility on land. I very nearly had an encounter with one once, and since I had no tools with me it might have gone very badly. But evading it was as simple as climbing back up the cliff I'd descended to get to the beach.

Seals are just neutral Sea Lions They don't have an ion.

2:25 This is absolutely terrifying

I’ve just been binge watching ur channel it’s awesome

Leopard seals should be placed in A tier IMHO, they're the only other seal subclass that has enough specs into power that they can have a kind of non agression pact/ truce with the kings of the oceans, the orcas, since their bite attack applies a very strong cripple and bleed debuff, and because of their brutal flexibility and agility stat, even if an orca player manages to score a hit on their tail, they are still able to retaliate with a potential game ending attack, either crippling one of their finns or applying such a deep bleed debuff on their head that it's basically an unviable strat to attack them in the first place. That gives them practical free reign to infinitely grief penguin players, or even new seal player from other subclasses.

Crocodilian Tier list please

I love these videos always give me some good laughs with the memes

Great video. Very entertaining as always❤.

Rip Walruses, your glorious mustaches will be overlooked once more.

Can we discuss how unbelievably broken the orca is? It has gone in and turned other meta aquatic builds, like leopard seals, polar bears, and great white sharks, and thrown them out the window.

I love how this flute tune that plays sometimes in background in his videos are also in the learning videos that my biology teacher always shows us lamo

This was a great video! You gotta love the runescape music boi

The company that developed this game are called G.O.D Genocide Obsessed Developers

An episode on squirrels with idubbbz? I think this should happen soooon. I saw he commented on a previous video Edit: this comment got over 240 likes and hearted by tier zoo thank you all Almost 260 likes wow

Bro I was smiling and laughing at the adorableness of seals and sea lions this entire video. My favorite part is when he talked about seal mobility and showed a seal just bouncing. Love seals and sea lions. Love the vids.

A sea lion is just a seal that lost an electron. Its a seal ion

So seals are more Tank builds, and sea lions are based around combat more? Interesting.

i give you props for the music

you are a great youtuber and i just keep watching your channel. The Pinniped buiId is one of my personal favorites would love to see a video on the walrus and elephant seal and leopard seal.

hey, what about a beetle tier list? or a video about the broken eusocial insects?

WHAT ABOUT THE WALRUS!!!!!!!??????!!!

incredible, i love your videos

I loved that d20 at the beginning. Hilarious.

While pinnipeds are some of bears closest relatives, they are not bears themselves and instead share a common ancestor. And many genetic studies actually point to the mustelids (skunks, weasels, raccoons, and a lot of other animals) being the pinnipeds closest living relatives.

Seal: “who are you?” Sea Lion: “I am you, but stronger”

The mental flashbang of the runescape music and hit markers was wild

This video kept me thinking about the Giant Otter build. They also divided their evolution points in water and land capabilities, but since they are river-based they don't suffer the same predators such as sharks and orcas. They might have some disadvantages to crocodiles, but they have the cooperation between players, an OP move according to you. Do you think they deserve a NERF?

Always interesting to see how those on the Milky Way Server Cluster play. The players on the Earth servers are by far the most interesting of all. So much so, that many players on the Andromeda Server Cluster have tried to use our character creation trees to create our own human builds. For example, planetary server set I use has managed to create something like humans. Something similar enough we consider it human. We had to build it from scratch, so it has no ancestors, really (kinda hard to create a human-type build without primates to build off of on the servers that make up your planet) We had to spec into some really odd things to get a human build to be viable. I mean, there are multiple ocean servers, a lava ocean server, 9 continent servers, and practically every other player type had some broken ability as a "hyper-hostile planet" bonus. I think the devs were drunk when they programmed the planet I play on. So, since we wanted to create a human of our own that could survive on these servers where everything wants to kill you, we first had to waste points to spec into 50% larger lungs due to the thicker atmosphere and greater gravity than the Earth servers, then another waste of points to spec into six-chambered hearts to counter gravity again with more force, and after we got out stats similar to homo sapiens, what bonus did it randomly generate for our troubles? "Delayed Adaptation: once enough of your guild's members have been slain by other players, the Devs will personally code in a bonus for your guild based on the percentage of your players that were killed. The Devs must be contacted first for the Devs to code your new ability." So many raged at that, that only two human mains actually joined the planetary super server. The game called us _"novis hominibus sapiens",_ or "strange wise man ". But, after so many respawns and trial and error, we finally had the chance to stake our claim on the surrounding region. We were going to do what Earth Human mains did and build a settlement. it was crude, but it was our own, we started spreading across the super server, but then, the other players grew restless, they knew how Earth Human mains rose to dominance, and they didn't want to give us the chance. So many Human mains rage quit our Super Server altogether, many saying they were going to play as humans on the Earth servers, we tried to fight back, but after losing 90% of our population, we begged the Devs to honor that trait they gave us and do something with it. The devs were actually happy someone had rolled that trait, as they'd been waiting to test a new system on our Super Server, a system that would be broken on most servers, but on ours, might just let us survive and not get patched out. They implemented the "Magic Patch" to our Super Server only, dividing us by family lines into twenty-three groups: 22 each bound to one element type, while two lines, the ones who contacted the devs and the one who kept trying to get everyone to not give up, all elements to control. Why are there 22? We don't really know. Some seem like they could be combined into one element, and the names for some of them are weird. But, that's what brought us back from the edge of destruction. We had some Unification Wars later, and now we're a unified force. The Devs aren't very happy about how we created a "Royal Republic" over one planet and try to cause rebellions by NPCs, but most of all, they hate how we managed to research FTL and have started crossing over to other Planetary Super Servers in the Andromeda Server Cluster. But, I've been wondering, as the guide has almost no info outside the Earth planetary Super Server, what even are our stats? At least an estimate? BTW: Our class changed to _"homo sapiens magicae",_ or "magic wise man" after the patch. We might be able to cross to the Earth planetary Super Server and see if we could improve the human mains even further! (Unless the Devs ban those who try).

My money is on the one who sings Kiss From A Rose

Your transitions are legendary

2:43 I expected it to at least move a little faster 😂😂

I think it’s time for an Apoidea Tier List (Bees; Wasps, Hornets, etc) They consistently rank top tier on every list, but we’ve yet to have a video explaining their placing.

Watching that little kitty cat bop that seal in its face was so funny.

SUGGESTION!!! Tier lists of the ultra deep sea! Anglerfish, gulpers, and more!

Seeing your twitter I knew Smah Ultimate would appear in your videos.

Did you just Did you just do a d&d intro? Yes. Amazing. Perfect, even.
