Crazy to think that this is the world we live in, absolutely fascinating to see these animals. Once you start paying attention, you'll see that we don't need an alien world, we have enough "aliens" here to explore. We just take it all for granted.
We must make a difference
Beautiful comment
Were All Aliens Bro
I couldn't agree more. Also, these amazing creatures need to be preserved and prototected lest they be lost forever.
It's not about ''needing'' an alien world to exist, its about looking for evidence of there being one. Exploring science with the intention of ''needs being met alone'' takes the fun out of it. Science should be explored for all it's wonder and what all it has in store for itself. Not to draw rash conclusions based on anyone's needs for anything being impossible. Science should be a thing of awe mystery and wonder. Science without religion is lame and religion without science is Blind!!!! Blessed by natural law are all they who study science in it's purity with unconditional love.
the cinematography here should not go understated, feels like I'm watching a blockbuster film except it's all real. Whoever took these shots, be proud. You're a master at your craft.
Almost more like a Pixar film, or maybe cgi like avatar
the close up shots of their claws and teeth were amazing
This never gets old. I find them not just utterly fascinating but their grotesqueness to be comical.
0:46 after too much spicy nachos
Magnificent creatures!!! I hope they are still around in another century
humanmade climate change says no.
That bull even though losing 10kg everyday was still bigger and stronger. Incredible.
"You thought you'd stick your nose into my business? I think not!!!"
This just sounds like the most horrific toilet sounds. I'm actually worried about playing this without headphones, lol.
It took me a second to realize the people crowding the beach were actually penguins 💀
So much of nature is about survival and replication; the preserving and passing on of one’s genes.
Thank goodness humans have a choice to do more.
Aye animals are impossibly simple in ways that humans will never understand. Eat/Hunt, Sleep, maybe a fight or too, mate and repeat. I wish human life was that simple
Because of Neil, I found out about these adorable creatures, and I cannot get enough of them
1:07 when you step on that sharp lego piece
You make fart sounds? Weirdo
filming is insane. amazing
Lol listen to the video only and you'll think someone is blowing up a toilet
Audio.
When I lived in Vancouver we would see these on occasion.
Thats amazing.
@@needsbeer the pups are cute water puppies🥺
@@Littlekoji-df1cf
Yes they are. Just don't get to close because they can surprisingly move fast and they are mean like my ex Sydney
Antarctica 🇦🇶
Yes
Meanwhile the penguins are betting on the games.
10 fish on the challenger
"David Attenborough narrating over constant farting"
Amazing moving camera angles. I've seen wild elephant seals, but they're always a disappointment compared to the closeup angles that we see on BBC Earth.
Damn I love that outro it never gets old.
This is life.
When I was a kid I saw an Elephant Seal Bull at the St.Louis Zoo. I had never even heard of one this being over 60 years ago. I thought it was a statue sticking up out of the water. It grunted loudly sunk beneath the surface and scared the hell out of me. If you ever get the chance to visit the St. Louis Zoo make sure you do .
One of the best Zoo’s in the world….And it’s FREE!!!
Really when did the st louis zoo have elephant seals I've been going there my whole life and I don't recall seeing them there
@@stevenelbert8989Really , it was a long time ago but I know what I saw.
I was 9 or 10 which means around 1960. On another trip I saw Marlin Perkins drive by in a golf cart. It is one of my favorite Zoos with an incredible Lion and Gorilla exhibits.Later in he 70's when I was in the Navy I worked across the street and I lived around the corner from the San Diego zoo in Balboa Park.Both very nice Zoos.
@@stevenelbert8989 In zoos, these wild animals are everywhere, but they are trained not to harm humans.
@@mesaeddie it was in the 1960 oh okay I was born in 1999 that explains it
The music at the end was so captivating. It reminded me of Interstellar.
The suren beauty of mother nature on full display here.
Fascinating as usual,, well done
The subtitles don't match what Sir David Attenborough says.
0:15 David Attenborough says: 'This bull elephant seal holds the mating rights to 60 females'.
What's actually written: 'This bull elephant C o Sumatra, March, June 60 females'.
No I’m pretty sure those subtitles are accurate

Sounds like me after eating taco bell at 1:27 - 1:37
Looks like my family fighting over the last turkey leg at Thanksgiving
Sorry, dad just got back from a colonoscopy 😂😂😂
Ah yes, the source for BBC Earth's end cards. 😊
I'd still like to know what the music is for these end cards. I can't seem to find it.

Where clodsire
One of the more underwhelming of the BBC Earth videos. Most are truly great.
This reminds me of the sauropod fight in prehistoric planet.
They drew inspiration from this to write that scene
@@wolfman2.055 I can see that😄
dam so this what be goin on down there
Finally the story behind that beautiful outro
They may have thick skin, but look at those hideous wounds! Some very fresh! No easy life.
St Andrew's Beach. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Excelente a minúcia do camara man...Uma batalha de gigantes!! O dominante e o dominado ...a dualidade também se assiste no mundo destes animais!!Ganha a lei do mais forte?! ou do experiente?!...
A Mãe natureza é maravilhosa
Deus é Maravilhoso
Imagine the very early early humans first seeing something like that coming their way 😱
Would've shat themselves XD.
@@jahrusalem3658 i think we all would shit ourselves
@@jahrusalem3658 They wiped out the mammoths though 🤣
@@MrOiram46 Yeah, doesn't mean they can't be intimidated by a several-ton animal.
@@MrOiram46 No we didn't. We sped it up their extinction but we didn't make them extinct .
Wonderful place
Face only a mother could love.
Mamma mia😵
This is so dramatic. But I can relate to this. It is pretty much like to battle between me, my sister(middle child), and my brother(the youngest)
Fighting over the remote or to bake with our nana
Отличный бой👍
I witnessed these battles in California. Impressive to see, but I can't forget the smell like rotten liver coming from the animals.
must be such an experience! :'D
Was amazing to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sounds like my cousin and me when we have a fart contest
They are funny the way they let the penguins run
Like him that.😊
Slow motion fight scene
Bro won't even share just one of his hundred ladies 🤣😆
2:00 Wow.😂
Basically my family reunions 😅
ナレーションが好き❣️激しいバトルであまり傷つかないといいけど😱平和でありますよう様に💓

only male beings do wars, the inferior Ys
4 tons, holy shit that's a big boy.
Bros has the biggest harem
I've never seen that animal before

Reminds me of Happy Feet 2.
Oh wow, they are really aggressive 🤐🙁🤯
Can't let others take the booty😏
Byran: WE ARE OUTSIDE
“Get!”
Scarier than even two grizzlies fighting.
Unspoiled wilderness and no human inhabide places where wildlife is untameable is another reason I will live off grid and where I'll be.
These seals are SIMPS 😂
0:45 lol

I would love to see someone ride one of those male elephant seals.
Being Bull Elephant Seal is a hard life.
Part of that looked like a.i.
Subtitles are wild on this one.💀
Where did the video audio go
Masha Allah
they sound like taco bell restrooms
1:45 haha fart war
best part 1:29
No, best part is just a few seconds earlier, 1:22 with all the penguins screaming "OH LAWD HE COMIN, GET OUT THE WAY!"
Terrifying

Sheesh that sounds pretty miserable, having to fight constantly and not even getting a chance to eat
all i have to say is damn
What a sounds! Try to listen, but don't watch)))
Most disgusting animal in the carnivora order lol
Holding, number 68, offense. replay first down.
After taco bell be like:
OK, I know that elephant seals exist, but what in the everloving hell is a bull elephant seal? Is this like a more elite version of the elephant seal with more HP & armor?
Bull means male
Every video got better with lots or fart noises
Toilet noises intensify
👋🇧🇷
Fun fact I got chased by one in new Zealand
The epic battle of blubber against blubber. The epic battle of the blubber. These spectacular creatures made me smile and laugh. They are cute in their own unique way. But🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 battleling bulge to bulge. Its like who ever gives the biggest bulge punch wins.😂😂🤭🤭 omg he almost squashed the baby!😵💫🥵
Reminds me of my ex
Funny, cause your ex told me the same thing about you
@@ronlacker326 No... she really didn't. My ex was about as fit as a double bass.

I always wondered why elephant seals didn't evolve to have bigger teeth to win these battles. Does anyone know?
There’s probably no need for the teeth to be bigger since they get the job done, as shown here. They’d most likely only develop bigger teeth if they needed to kill their opponent.
@@colinfisher6750 I can't image how having bigger teeth than what they have currently does not give them a huge advantage in these battles. I'm not saying they should have tusks like real elephants, just bigger than what they are now. I can't think of any evolution pressure that keeps them this small.
The teeth don't really come into play during these fights. All males have tons of scars from bites against other males. The REAL
damage they inflict upon another is when they use their weight and mass to slam into their opponent. As the narrator says,
"blubber 15cm thick protects from the cold, but not from the impact of a 4 ton opponent."
Not that the bites don't hurt, but it's the slam that does 90% of the damage.
@@TheRed971 But still 4 tons behind a long tooth should cause more damage than 4 ton behind a small one, right?
@@Fiyaaaahh The design of the animal would change completely by that point. In order to compensate for the longer fangs, the blubber would have to be even thicker, which means the animal is now possibly larger and heavier than it was before. Without that change, longer fangs mean that fights between males would result in more fatalities since the fangs would pierce deeper and cause more potentially fatal injuries.
Did the elephant seals sing the song that goes like rolin rolin rolin movin movin movin keep those doggies moving road hogs rain and wind and weather helping forever wishing me girl was by me side
Can't help but wonder how much of their fight is just "crazy testosterone frenzy" (just look at those crazy eyes...) and how much is carefully masured tactics. Either way, it is earhtshaking.
