Crazy thing is the boot the baby seal put in his mouth could of been his hand and instead of his hand the baby seal bit his boot and couldn't bite hard enough to do anything to it and gave up lol but if that was his hand or something it could've gone different tbh, it's like playing Russian roulette

@@marcellomar Its not about money its about ethics you cynical edgy bellend. Seal meat is popular in east Asia especially South Korea and is exported across the world, if they get used to people they will be easy pray.
Because these seal pups might be separated from their moms afterwards and it becomes difficult for them to fend for themselves while they are very young
If they view humans as a source of good and kindness, poachers would simply exploit that fact. So photographers are left to do nothing but be a neutral being.
These three replies are why the TH-cam comment sections is my go-to place to find intellectual answers. Jason: The pups will become separated from their parents and they will have difficulty fending for themselves. JCPlays: Because if they view humans as a source of good and kindness, poachers would exploit that fact. So staying still is the only way to prevent that. Zak: *H u m a n s a r e s h i t*
Did anyone else kind of do a double-take when they realized just how HUGE that baby is?!! It looks so cute and then you realize the head is bigger than the adult man's gumboot. O.O
Elephant Seals tend to get to about 12 feet long when they're fully grown. Not even their main predator, Great White Sharks, tend to mess with full grown adults.
@@GamerMinilla I mean I wouldn’t put it past a hungry Great White to go after an elephant seal. Especially since even with it’s blubber, it wouldn’t be capable of surviving the first bite. Those jaws can turn the femurs in our legs into splinters with a single full force bite, so a sneak attack would probably kill the elephant seal outright, or leave it badly wounded and bleeding heavily.

It's been proven scientifically that the human body suffers permanent physical and mental damage to resist petting something adorable.
A moment of silence for those who didn't get this on their recommended..
For real thooo
I know, this was Great...
For the creeps who search this up lmfao😂😂
Lol this is the third time this get into my recommended XD
I got it in my recommendation lol
Let’s take a moment and appreciate what TH-cam is recommending us today
NOPE
kyungsoo is my religion
Baby sealll is cutte
Inari a ti amo
Yes
The way it squeezes through the cameraman feet and then lays its head onto the foot is just pure cuteness😢
And just like a land dog, tries to chew his boots
He made a new friend with the cameraman. This baby seal is absolutely adorable with those huge eyes!
❤
😅😅😅😅😅😅❤😅😅❤❤😅😅❤😅
cameraman's*
the one behind the camera has more self control then me because i would have been giving that adorable bean head pats so many head pats
I didn’t think it could get any cuter and then it nibbled on the shoe. Cuteness levels have officially been overloaded.
Then he went to sleep 🥰
I LOVE him!! You said exactly what I was thinking!!
Bot.
@capybara9521 how???
he just wanted a lil monch
Imagine the godly self restraint it takes to be a wildlife photographer. Not being able to hug or pet these little fellas.
True 😔
Let the man pet the naked sea doggos damn you
I was gonna say! That's hilariously adorable! I would pat that lil' boi XD
@@emilybarclay8831 the mothers would think he's trying to harm her baby
@@marcellomar Its not about money its about ethics you cynical edgy bellend. Seal meat is popular in east Asia especially South Korea and is exported across the world, if they get used to people they will be easy pray.
Cameraman: can't pet him
Seal: Fine, I'll do it myself
Fine i suppose you are my little pogchamp come here
Always gotta do everything around here 🙄
YES
@@dean0742 gross
*NO M U S I C*
All babies are brave, inquisitive and adorable! Those big eyes ❤❤❤
The power that the cameraman has to not pet that adorable seal is beyond my comprehension
Edit 2yrs later: Wow thanks for the likes
[ i s h e e v e n h u m a n ]
@@kobz2862 its her job if you see she was filming the penguins not trying to get the seal
PET IT NOWWWW
I would DEFINITELY pet it, even if it meant sacrificing a hand
OHMYGOSHHHH i was thinking if that was me I would want to pet it soooooo bad and probably would omg
I respect this man endlessly for not petting it once. That must’ve taken every OUNCE of resistance to do 😂
OH YEA IKR
Yeah
The hardest choices, require the strongest wills.
I was looking for this comment. The self control is something else. I couldn't do his job haha
I would have absolutely pet it. You’re probably not supposed to, but come on, look at him
After looking so many videos I found that animals looks so cute to me because of their eyes and probably face has also some role.
Researcher: *there to observe penguins*
Baby seal: ok yeah, but look at me
That baby seal is sooo cute but it can bite
Hello fellow shera fan
@@Koremel1 the face is but no the hole they stink
@@Binladen506 you're ugly but you stink
Professional photographers can’t touch the animals, they just have to sit and accept whatever is happening
Professional or not I'm pettin it. 1:31 Just look at those eyes it understands.
He reach and touch that baby off goes the alarm😂🤣😂🤣
Yes including getting mauled by a lion
Why like that??
Yes, even if they start nibbling on your head, you gotta embrace it. Thats commitment
One of the greatest tragedies of our existence is being forced to not pet something this absurdly cute.
God why
Because these seal pups might be separated from their moms afterwards and it becomes difficult for them to fend for themselves while they are very young
If they view humans as a source of good and kindness, poachers would simply exploit that fact. So photographers are left to do nothing but be a neutral being.
Because humans are shit
These three replies are why the TH-cam comment sections is my go-to place to find intellectual answers.
Jason: The pups will become separated from their parents and they will have difficulty fending for themselves.
JCPlays: Because if they view humans as a source of good and kindness, poachers would exploit that fact. So staying still is the only way to prevent that.
Zak: *H u m a n s a r e s h i t*
@@sleepingzoro7530 Haha Love your sarcasm!
I love the way they galumph over just to hang out
@@CanndyCoating ok GALUMPH is officially my new favorite word.
I could never do this as my job, i would be trying to pet and hug everything
Even a wild hungry human eater tiger ?
Same and I don't blame you
I'll be too hungry and keep forgetting to bring my own lunch. Good thing I brought my rifle!
@@gapfapnap8425 oh my god...you madlad...you're gonna eat just whatever you find?
@@gapfapnap8425 you are cruel
How friendly are you?
Baby seals: *Yes.*
Don’t let the cute face fool you, these critters like to eat people’s shoes for fun
@@aidencortez5490 1:43 yes
You’re not funny kid
@@aidencortez5490 and they also eat penguins
@@GhaniKeSawah there are different species of seals that do hunt penguins, but this particular species in the video dont eat penguins,
That seal almost looks like my dog
Fun fact: in the Netherlands we call them sea dogs :)
Plot twist: it is your dog
@@harisfitri6199 stfu
You got a weird ass dog
Baby seals are called pups
The baby seal looks like he showing affection like he whants to be pet on his head .omg is that even possible. 😊
Did anyone else kind of do a double-take when they realized just how HUGE that baby is?!! It looks so cute and then you realize the head is bigger than the adult man's gumboot. O.O
Elephant Seals tend to get to about 12 feet long when they're fully grown. Not even their main predator, Great White Sharks, tend to mess with full grown adults.
@@GamerMinilla I mean I wouldn’t put it past a hungry Great White to go after an elephant seal. Especially since even with it’s blubber, it wouldn’t be capable of surviving the first bite. Those jaws can turn the femurs in our legs into splinters with a single full force bite, so a sneak attack would probably kill the elephant seal outright, or leave it badly wounded and bleeding heavily.
That's what she said
I still want to pick it up and squeeze it! 🥰👍
@@GamerMinilla they are much bigger than that. Average is between 14-16 feet. Some can be as big as 20 and weigh over 9000 pounds!
Kid's probably looking for a way to pass time since his parents are in a business meeting in the background.
Actually yes
Lmfao so cute
Lol
@@HermitlessCrab I was waiting for someone to tell him lmaoo
@@HermitlessCrab seals aren't carnivorous, sea lions are
The way he just sat his head on top of his boot and looked up like *“helloing my friend”*

@@TDoThis ok
Helloing my *fren*
They are always in a constant state of doing this emoji: 🥺
Penguins: "Ayo I'll give you ten dollars if you approach that guy over there."
Seal: "bet.."
“Oh? Your approaching me?”
I will do it
@@zopfee dio!
@@zopfee I can’t get my ten bucks without getting closer
@@RRAAZZAA “HoHo! Then come as close as you like ;)”
The amount of self control this guy has is out of this world...
IKR!!!! I would probably pick up the little guy and hug him to bits 😂
@@jeanetteespiritu4461 It’s all fun and games till someone gets their face ripped off
Well photographers aren’t actually supposed to interact with the animals they capture, no matter how tempting. I couldn’t do it..
@@jeanetteespiritu4461 Pick him up???! You know how much pound that baby seal weigh? Unless you're strong🤔
Photographers can't interact with the wild animals no matter how cute they are
Its some of their rules
The greatest struggle of mankind: Resistance to adorable and urge to cuddle
Polar bears are cute asf too..
@@darkghoul4049 wouldn’t recommend cuddling though
@@fallenmango8420 exactly 😂
@@darkghoul4049 hug them,hug the heaven gates
@@fallenmango8420 My friend recommends me to cuddle with a polar bear the problem is, after 15 minutes you will see a bright light coming closer to you with the visions of your dead relatives for some reason.
Every sound it makes fills me with joy
Can we appreciate him for being able to not petting the baby seal? If i there i would dying because of cuteness
I think it was a she but still Ikrrrrr
It’s SCP 999 lol
It's not allowed
You aren’t allowed to pet them because of the chance they might follow you, so you have to leave them alone.
@@Alleged_Insanity that’s what she was saying
Baby seal: **approaches**
Depression: ight imma head out
*Video ends*
Depression: ayy I am back
Yes
Yasss
Nemesis Tim, wow. So sad that a depressed human walked away.
Depressed Human : *When Baby Seal approaches suddenly started to leave*
Baby Seal : *somehow still curious and concerned of why the human walked away*
