It says a lot about intelligent animals, they probably almost never see humans, they obviously don't see him as prey, so they have no reason to fear him, he's just a curious, warm body to snuggle up to. :)
This is this sweetest thing ever. I would be in tears if this happened to me. This journalist was able to experience something that just goes to show how understanding and loving animals in nature can be.
David Kenseth: Yeah, his intentions are so outlandishly weird, not freaking out the wildlife by making himself look small, enjoying interacting with friendly creatures. There's actually nothing questionable about this. Just a very lucky person that these creatures found endearing.
I have always loved seals. I loved seeing this "love ambush" vs what I've seen humans do to harp seals. Thank you for sharing the beauty. My heart melts!
This brought me so much joy and laughter it was like I was experiencing it myself! This photographers joyous abandon and melodic laughter just filled my heart for real!
Just listen to his voice. Most people will never feel this happy. This video gave me hope, at least for a few days until the sad reality crushes in. I shed some tears of joy. This video made me really happy. Thanks Charlie, thank you beautiful seals.
this journalist looks like he is really enjoying his job and what he does. These type of things make me want to go out with my cameras and shoot film and photos because, even though they are wild animals they can still surprise and amaze anyone. Amazing video
Charlie ,,Thank you for sharing this life experience,, just Amazing! I Admired viewing the Seal love so much that I watched it a few times,,The first part where you are sitting up & that look the seal was giving with his head tilted looking at you before he was in 'camera capture',, the first scoot towards your lap & you said, "look at this",, I watched so intent that the second time I watched, it did make me teary eyed. I really appreciate you sharing this beauty!! Hope to make it to visit & view one day,,myself,,Charlie, at the end of this clip he was against you,, contented,,feeling your heat & he looked like he wanted to settle in that warmth to take a Nap Incredible & Beautiful!
How anyone canNOT see something of us in these other earthlings is beyond me. This was wonderful, thank you. :) Interesting that the seal murderers don't go after the big ones, just the little babies.
I FEEL IN SEVEN HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER FELLED SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!! Blessing .... with true appreciation from the bottom of my heart! :)
Awwww this is awesome, may be the last time you can see them before they are decimated, from Radiation from Fukushima.. Gives me chills to see this as all life is so precious. Grace be to thee...

This guy is surrounded by pure happiness
Hello human we will warm you
LOL you can hear him struggling to breathe in his voice. Those things must be heavy.
the people who gave this a thumbs down were the ones rejected by seals.
fun fact: seals are 20% bone, 80% jello
Pillowsfree I am squishsquish
Those slug-dogs are adorable.
i imagine this being one of the cutest ways to die

THEY SCRATCH THEIR HEADS THAT'S RIDICULOUS
Seals itch, too!
Seal: "Oh my! Its a human! Its so CUTE! Do you think he'll let us pet him?"
SNUGGLE SNUGGLE SNUGGLE
Beautiful moments. The journalist's reaction says so much.
I found it. This is what happiness looks like, it looks like 2 seal pups crawling on you.
The pure joy in his laugh. ❤
i want my seal cuddles too
sometimes a seal has to scratch his head omg this is beautiful
THEY WANT TO CUDDLE SO BAD. THIS IS SO CUTE.
The absolute most beautiful video I've seen in a long time!
OMG this was wonderful.
This is this sweetest thing ever. I would be in tears if this happened to me. This journalist was able to experience something that just goes to show how understanding and loving animals in nature can be.
They see him as someone they can trust.
heart warming laughter. No comedian required
How happy he gets. Makes me happy too.
I think they recognize that he's really skinny and are trying to keep him warm.
I was like laughing at first, and towards the video I was really emotional and tearing up oh my god
The best part was the man's reaction tbh! So cute!
David Kenseth: Yeah, his intentions are so outlandishly weird, not freaking out the wildlife by making himself look small, enjoying interacting with friendly creatures. There's actually nothing questionable about this. Just a very lucky person that these creatures found endearing.
Seal1: Hey! A living pillow!
Seal2: Awesome!
I love that he embraced this amazing moment. His ecstatic laugh was wonderful!
I have always loved seals. I loved seeing this "love ambush" vs what I've seen humans do to harp seals. Thank you for sharing the beauty. My heart melts!
What a beautiful moment! The man's joy of it was touching to watch.
Animals share with us the privilege to have a soul.

I wonder how much a baby seal weights
250 pounds when they are weened
Enough to break the ice.
Hi I'm Lmfao a frog
Not heavy enough to take away his smile
Enough to break the ice?
300-400 lbs (140-190kg)
It was so beautiful, I am crying. You are so very fortunate, I am completely jealous. Thank you for posting this.
I envy this man. Being able to be around these adorable creatures. Having them come to him, it is truely remarkable.
That is the cutest thing! Lookit their little faces!
Absolutely adorable. They certainly seem to be friendly.
52 dislikes? Well someone doesn't like pure adorableness
This brought me so much joy and laughter it was like I was experiencing it myself! This photographers joyous abandon and melodic laughter just filled my heart for real!

Man, this is so beautiful and full of love!
Absolutely amazing! A hug of fluffy mother nature ;-)
to hear the excitement in his voice is so amazing, what a wonderful experience to have had
I get teared up watching this so many times.. Just amazing that some animals do not immediately fear humans..
Charlie's reaction and appreciation is the cutest part of the video hahaha, his laugh is so sincere hahaha
I have tears of joy in my eyes
Awww! Seals are basically water dogs, these pups are too cute.
The happiness in this video is one of the reasons I have still kept a hold of my faith in humanity :)
Yes - it gets my SEAL of approval!!
Damn! I wish i was that guy lol. SO FREAKING ADORABLE

i love when unexpected pleasures like this befall people who enjoy them as much as he did. that's some contagious joy.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thank you.
I love this, those pups are absolutely adorable and he has every right to be absolutely overjoyed.
Who even designed seals? They're like giant blubbery shrimp. What kind of animal would have 4 tail things.
They're sea puppies :D
Just listen to his voice.
Most people will never feel this happy. This video gave me hope, at least for a few days until the sad reality crushes in. I shed some tears of joy. This video made me really happy. Thanks Charlie, thank you beautiful seals.
Thats the sound of true happiness right thurr
Wonderful video! Remarkable footage of someone who truly loves and respects animals. Thank you for uploading this.
Made my day. Thanks!
The most heartwarming moment captured on camera this year, amazing :D
I sorry my head was itchy I didn't know I was being filmed
Lovely ,made Monday brighter
I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to get up close and personal with all the awesome and beautiful creatures...great and small!!
You can't help but to smile while watching this. Definitely the highlight of the night for me!
Wow! This is amazing! Now we don't feel so bad when we get up on Mommy's lap! Tee hee! ~ Pumpkin and Cookie

This was so very sweet and put a big smile on my face.

Awww they're such loving, sweet animals. Thanks for posting this...it's very moving.
That is the most cutest and coolest thing in the world!! You are awesome. Thank you!!!!
lol I'm watching this video and going, "pet him you idiot pet him!". :p Although I guess they probably have rules about that.
when the seal scratches his head I was like WOOOOT
that was beautiful and heart warming. i'm so happy for your experience!
I love this video! So adorable! Hard to believe people hurt these poor creatures.
This is amazing... brings a tear to my eye really. Such an amazing world we live in.
Ohmygod literally the cutest thing I have ever laid my eyes on
this always makes me smile
So cute!!!!! I was almost in tears. Animals ALSO CAN LOVE!!!! They can feel, can suffer...........everything same.......
God, this guy is living my dream, getting to be snuggled by adorable seals like that! Precious!
Great Fun. His Delight is contagious.
Thanks for a good laugh a long, long way away from there.
This is incredible and truly amazing. The only thing (I believe) that could top this experience is giving birth. I'm so in love with this video!
This never fails to make me smile!
How anyone canNOT see something of us in these other earthlings is beyond me. This was wonderful, thank you. :)
Interesting that the seal murderers don't go after the big ones, just the little babies.
I FEEL IN SEVEN HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER FELLED SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!! Blessing .... with true appreciation from the bottom of my heart! :)
Tears in my eyes after watching this. God bless the fluffy puffs.
Awwww this is awesome, may be the last time you can see them before they are decimated, from Radiation from Fukushima.. Gives me chills to see this as all life is so precious. Grace be to thee...
OMG that's soooooo wonderful, what an experience!
congrats charlie! An RTE pension plus many add on documentarys for . RTE.you are great!!!!! Theirs another new one i believe. Wow your some man to top up your RTE pension. Well Done.
I notice he's not touching the seals, or moving much at all. Those are wild animals still, and you wouldn't want to upset them.
When you see things like this, it just makes the world the tiniest bit better.
Absolutely beautiful !!!
Awww how could any living being on this earth have anything else in mind but loving these wonderful animals!? =)
They just want to give him a hug. Seals really aren't are as menacing as people make them out to be.
Wow! That is so amazing. Such a loving animal. Wheres the rest of the story?
This is pretty great, dudes reaction is priceless.
Animals are so fantastic and compassionate. More than humans ever will be.
It was great meeting him! Great guy! Lovely video, I'd love to meet seals!
