"Feed me humans! You owe me for being so cute!"
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
It would take everything in me to refrain from petting him. He’s too cute. Lol
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
baby seal is like," Wow, you are some funny looking seals."
FreezyNinja yeah
SSEmery because thats not a tail
those are modified back legs
imagin sleeping with one XD
FreezyNinja .
Haha you *seally* guys
I would've pet it. No second thoughts. I'mma pet some sea doggos. 😂
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
This has 9k likes for no reason literally.
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!
The seals eyes get more and more teared up as it approaches the crew. Just so happy to be there :)
It's videos like these that still make me have hope for humanity
TheJaggedGamer
But then you realize what people do to seals... especially baby ones that cant get away...
But then you get into the RUclips comments section...
Seal:*Stretch back*
Me:Wow what a flexible seal♥♥
Great, now I have to search for a video in which someone pets the seal
micou008 They would most likely kill you. They dont look deadly, but trust me, they are.
micou008 I don't think they are allowed to touch them and penguins some animal law
micou008 look for 'feeding the sea lions!' they pet the seal! just a little bit thought xD
They are incredibly muscular, heavy and have huge f***ing wolf teeth
+micou008 You're not allowed to do that in Antarctica (and some other places), because it's against the local animal laws. Other than that, no matter how many cute animal videos are on RUclips, wild animals are still wild animals. They don't like to be touched like domesticated ones (dogs, cats, etc.), and one wrong move can make you end up with a serious injury, or even losing your life.
Their derpy face is so freaking cute. 🤣
I just want to rub my face on that belly💗
Artzie Haul smell like rotten fish, mudd and blood. yum.
The reason they dont touch or rub against the seals is because just like bears, some can be friendly or just show fakr affection. 9/10 petting one will end up them trying to chew your fingers
Artzie Haul it sounds weird, but I do to lol
This one is less shy than others.....good to see it hanging by rescue team
0:23 me tryna be flexible on my day 1 of exercise and giving up after 3 seconds
Ya know I've seen elephant seals before and they like to beach up in big groups. Seeing what these people are wearing all laid out on the beach like that I feel the baby seal felt at home laying in the middle of all of them.
Pet him dammit
They can't :/
Mr.Pigeon because they're pussies
Its not wise to do that.
joo jett yee when have you done it, keyboard warrior?
Notthefather I will maybe pet in the next 20 years. God the father
He/she was like where did you guys get these legs 🦵 and how do I get a pair .
0:21 he is showing them his yoga routine😁(sorry for bad eng)
Mayank Nautiyal hi (sorry for bad eng)
Sorry for bad eng (sorry for bad eng)
This perplexing and interesting seal shows quite lovable affection towards the curious and kind humans that surround his extraordinary habitat (sorry for bad eng)
Gary The Stormtrooper lmao
So cute... How they kept themselves from petting him I don't know...
That was an amazing sight!💕
there's a face you'd never get tired of kissing
Incredible indeed
penguins in the back are just like 'shit he's taking our spotlight lets let the humans know we're here as well'
I'll just hugged the baby seal ,😊
2:08 THE PENGUINS IN THE BACKGROUND MADE ME CRACK UP IDK WHY 😂
The penguin in the back naruto running :D
No one:
Litterally no one:
This seal for some wholesome reason:"you guys mind if i sit here with ya?"
Oh look, it's flippers are broken! I'll comfort the poor little thing.
How do you not pet a seal that comes up to you? I wouldnt be able to resist
They are the beagles of the sea
He maybe asked for help
Uau!!! Que experiência de vida incrível!!! 😃💎🌟
almost looks human
Am I the only one that thinks he's trying to ask the people to scratch his back
He whants you touch him... 💖💖💖💖 Needs your contact and love...
Recorded horizontally:)
Sometimes I wonder what do they try to tell us. Omg I really want to do that!
I always get nervous when any animal gets to close to the genitals
lol! You are not the only one who is nervous! 😅😅
😰
Yeah, there was definitely some butt-sniffing going on there.
I think that's our thing haha
Lol I have no such hang ups
Seal: *So who wants to pet me?*
the walking peguins thoo hahaha cute
In this situation I think the "dont pet wild animals" rule can go out the window for ONE second, like how were these cameramen able to resist???
worth it
I think the main concern is that the mother recognizes her baby by smell and if they pet him she might not come back to nurse him.
@@ShareeAnneGorman Elephant seals abandon there pups
Because their respect for wild animals is greater than their selfish (illegal & potentially dangerous) desire to pet them
It is illegal to pet them. There is something called the Antarctica Treaty that says that Antarctica is a continent reserved for research and peace (with all the war stuff going on, no one can "claim" Antarctica) and it prohibits any form of human interference (poaching, fishing, helping out the wild life, feeding, or even a simple hug. Minor things like this can cause seals to trust humans and could have big changes in the food chain and population of certain animals.)
Friendly elephant seal but not so much the others who didn't even touch him (or her ...).
Pet him!
His mamma is doing a great job,,, y'all see all the fat rolls on him??😏. I don't know that I could've kept my hands off him🤤
I know he is SOOOOO CHUBBBY 😂 and squishyyyyyy
Он просто хотел, чтобы его погладили :(
Elephant seal inspection service: Stay calm and cooperate with your personal inspector. Photos are allowed but please don't disturb the inspection!! Thank you for your trust and have a nice day! 🦭
The no petting challenge. Well done guys. I would’ve failed miserably.
Exactly what i kept thinking!!
I would've cuddle thing
You and me both sir
They are obviously scientists: just observe...
@@theblackwoodwitch452 okay....
I didn't realize they can fold themselves in half backwards.
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..
Damn what yoga classes does he attend to
I like THE KIDDIES Seal's Local Yoga Studio, located in the Atlantic Ocean right in the Titanic
A very low Quality car crash lmao
I like THE KIDDIES 😅😂I was just going to say that! He is doing yoga on the beach 😄👍
The yoga where you reach your arese like nobody else does
Congrats, I'm your 1k comment.
When a 100kg seal jumps on your leg: "You're are the most adorable pup on this planet... But you just broke my leg in 3 different points💖"
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
probably wondering what kind of seal you guys are
Navy seal
Fujoshi Fluff hahahahahaha
Tactical Seal
Fujoshi Fluff Harp Seal

he just gotta take his time and wiggle
lol the pengus in the background were adorable how they just go “don’t mind us, just been fishing”
Smile and wave boys, smile and wave
They are cute haha
@@assassin4rent 🤣
Yeah so cute that waddle
😆😆
Water doggo just wanted a pat :(
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!!!!!
Loud noises check
Heavy breathing check
Demonic fart noises check
Being fat check

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

Penguins are the real shinobi
I love the way seals shuffle around. It's so cute

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
Seals may seem cute but don’t go on their looks, I heard a group of them killed Bin Laden😅😂
Good pun
I think this seal is civilian
Perfectly placed in the comments to give me a good laugh ;) TY
:0
Oooooh snap! Righteous comment! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍
Pet me....pet me...okay I'm leaving
This is so cute
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.
2:10 Penguin: "Hey! Who are these people stepping on our turf"? 2:18 Seal: "It's cool man, they're with me".
Adam Rasmussen but the seal would eat the Penguins and you can see all the blood and bones from past kills on the beach
lewis clark do you mind not ruining the moment?
Sorry.
i laughed so hard
Seal of approval
"Photographers watch in shock as their colleague gets mauled by a homicidal elephant seal."
Seth Porter were did you get your profile picture its cool.
He's like, " My man, what cologne yav been wearin... Smells good"
Your dog is acting weird
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?
0:03 when you're taking school pictures and they ask you to tilt your head a little bit
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
*it looks so squishy and fluffyyyy* 😭😍
Sliding around on those rocks must hurt 🙁 sooooo cute though😍
Not to a seal. Their stomachs are made of tough fat.
koko kaa Bugs is getting some nice ass.
They are actually immune to bring cut, even swords, but the weight of the sword will hurt
Dragonvarine Who tested that out o-o
I could never be a wildlife photographer , i would pet and belly rub the heck out of that seal pup
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
You guys are truly blessed. He was loving every minute of it.
0:22 How I change diapers.
Cherry Pauper Lmfao accurate
LMAO
😂😂😂
you just made my day! Thank you!
Cherry Pauper Lmao! 😂😂
Silly water doggo does a nasal exhale
Ren don't worry I love yoy
Seal Yoga Instructor: Everyone let me show you how to do the seal pose. Alright, bend yourself in half backwards like this and point your head to the sky.

I would have failed that class 😁😄😃😅😀😃

Brent Yun XDDD glad to hear that 😁
Miyu Martinez r

Miyu Martinez ii
He wanted someone to scratch that part of his back her couldn't get to. sigh.
It's disturbing that the seal was denied being petted.
@@weddell2543 But I wouldn't resist not to touch the seal. They are beautiful.
Police: Why did you pet the seal?
Me: In my defense it plopped itself onto me
edit: sees i have over 1k likes im-
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
Police: wait, that's illegal.
Breaking news seal charged with attempted murder...
😂😆😂❤ BTW, is there a rule against petting or touching Antarctic fauna?
you've got to give it to these professionals, they didn't intervene despite the temptation to pet it
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 wouldn't have been able to resist petting the baby. It seemed like he was just begging for someone to love on him.
I have no idea how you were able to resist
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.
What a strange dog
Weird doggo
Chez Buggas indeed
Justadankmemer fromnewbeter water doggo
Justadankmemer fromnewbeter have you tried turning it on and off again?
God dammit how many times do i have to repeat that its a cat

This reply chain was just awful to read.
Isabel Lopez same with me
I love Puerto Rican Mamis too 🇲🇽☝ !
Oh my goodness the nosy penguins waddling up in the background to see what all the fuss is about! What a cool experience 😍😍😍😍😍😍
if you ever walked on the beach bare foot it hurts like hell, but a fukin seal has to crawl on its belly and you can even see the bruised areas
oni i think this is blood of fish , you can see it on the land
Flexibility level over 9000.
@Matix 777 your great
"Come on hoomans lets go play!"
"Pleaseeee, come on, lets go in the waterrrrrr!"
"Why aren't you stupid hoomans listening to me." 😭
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
That cute seal: All that regular yoga on the beach every morning and am still struggling to lose weight. 😥
It's a shame you're not allowed to pat them.
He's obviously saying; "Someone give my back a good skritch please!"
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:((
you guys were so calm and disciplined. I was shrieking like a schoolgirl just watching it. in my mind it's saying huggg meee
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.
No, that is a dog. It's the most dogish dog I have ever seen.
Cielle Valencia ikr
It's a mermaid dog.
It's hard to believe that this big guy is only a baby
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.
Why is that dog so fat? Where are its legs?
David Goldfeld its a seal smart one
Please tell me you didnt think he was serious...
Ethan Howell dumb ass
Ethan Howell dude its an old trend joke where people are saying like:thats a wierd dog when its a fucking elephant-_- for laughs
It was a joke, "smart one."
HUG HIM! WHY OH WHY ARE YOU NOT HUGGING HIM!?!?!?
It'd be worth it for us youtubers :)
+Genos Demon Cyborg da fuq
CapitalFProductions Becausw that thing is a baby elephant seal.
+Genos Demon Cyborg you got to catch them all
Exactly my thought!!! They should pet him!
I would hug thst seal and never let go, also i'd feed it and make it fat :3
ik right
it's already a giant pile of grey blob
Yes!
Butt it's already fat!
Jansta Gamsta Can we feed it together? :3
The title of the video should be *A fat legless doggo tries to murder cameraman with its cuteness*
Ichsan Adam yeah your right 😂❤
Ikr
