Not that anyone is policing out there but you'll get fined for touching or interfering with seals and sea lions in San Diego. We have a ton of them so they made them a protected species.
@@roguephoenixinteresting because that is not what I read… they checked mom too I believe she is still fine… they have numbers for them … the mom used to be in captivity and they raised her to be a hunter and released her but this pups mom probably told her pup some humans are ok ❤ so the pup is like he gonna see for himself.. its like when those elephants ran from poachers to the vets in the area so where are you getting your information from? ❤

I've had a couple encounters with harbor seals while out in the water. The adults are pretty indifferent and uninterested, but the young pups are curious and often come right up to me. They will swim around and follow me. Never had one pop up on my board but I have had them come up so close I could touch them. I get the sense that they are just really curious and want to play.
A seal pup at LeoCabrillo State beach in Ca. climbed up the rocks and right into my lap poking and cuddling me for a while to the delight of my 2 children. I eventually took it down to the water and it swam away, turning to look at us as it went. I'll never forget it :)
Thats a beautiful thing no one is trying to have him as a pet or touching him but allowing him Sammy to enjoy the resting places going from board to board . Thanks to all the surfers that respect and have patience in there day to allow such a awesome creature to have a place of rest and to have them enjoy themselves .Those are really good people with a great heart thanks for being a true good human. This so awesome to see touches my heart and others . 👏 👏 😊
for the people yes, for the seal not so much. he's been trying to find safe harbor ever since he saw his mom get eaten by a shark there a few days ago.
I just do not have the words to describe how beautiful this story is, and how much it has lifted my saddened heart in these current insanity of humanity times. Thank you for sharing this video and the soulful moment of connection between little Sammy the seal and the lovely surfers. I needed this.
what this video doesn't tell you, but other videos do, is that he saw his mom get eaten by a shark in those waters a few days ago and this is him trying to find safe harbor among the surfers.
@@roguephoenixpoor baby. He had my heart even more now. It’s the sad nature of this world. But we can still remain hopeful Sammy does find the safety he needs to survive and live a long and full wild life. ❤
The little fella probably has bad eyesight and thinks those funny looking creatures in wetsuits are some other type of seal 😂 Just beautiful. Nature is the best
In a local report the drone pilot and other surfers reported that an adult seal, perhaps the mom was attacked and killed by a shark days before the little guy started climbing on boards. Makes sense he’s seeking safety in numbers.
I've always thought seals were the doggies of the sea. They like to play. So he wants little baby siblings and he found the fun people with surf boards. Seems natural to me. Here in CA even juvenile mountain lions will watch kids play and people out of curiosity. Play is healing and normal. In my area juvenile great whites are swimming among folks in the water all the time. He may feel safer with the people.
Animals do have a concept of fun and like many of them if they accidentally find out a fun thing they’ll do it more. It probably hopped up just to lay down and once it got carried on a wave it enjoyed the feeling and kept doing it. It’s like that video of a crow discovering snowboarding after slipping on a lid
Harbor seals are so fun. I’ve had one teasing me for hours when I was ab diving. Adorable. Charging me and fin-tapping me. It was never aggressive. We made eye contact and then he would circle around me to “get” me from behind.
How cute! He's gotten pretty good at it from the looks of things. Leave him right where he is; Sea World would be the death of him. He's lucky to be where he is; no worries about people with clubs coming for him. Good idea, Jenny; that board is obviously special.
Everyone's skipped over that Seaworld WAS called. Their rescue team gave him a check-up and he was perfectly healthy so they didn't even need to do anything. One worrying thing right now is that there is a serious toxic algal bloom on the Cali coast right now, which if it gets close to shore, will affect and kill harbour seals.
I surf almost in an area where the land above the beach is private, so it's usually just a small group of locals that surf our local spot. We started noticing the same otter would appear over and over again, particuarly in warmer months. We nicknamed him Chompy because he puts his urchins and other shells on this chest and chomps and cracks them really loudly. Over the years, he's gotten more and more and more comfortable with the local pack. So much so that he would get within inches of us while he cracked open his lunch. Finally, he just started coming up to those of us he'd see on almost daily basis and would pull up right next to us and flip on his back, seemingly wanting something. One day, I just pet his little belly, and he seemed to ask for more. Animals are rad when they get to know and accept us "intruders" to their natural environment.
"I surf almost every day in a privatized zone of California," what a f-king horrible sentence "a privatized zone" - thank f-uk I live on a European beach were it's free for everyone and " privatized zones" dont exist.
@@piccalillipit9211 Nice try, but it’s obvious you don’t sure… plenty of European beach’s that are attached to properties are private. I’ve surfed throughout Europe so plenty of first hand experience
@@516Mel “plenty of European beach’s that are attached to properties are private. I’ve surfed throughout Europe” DUDE this is so obviously a lie its utterly tragic. NO ONE “surfes throughout Europe” cos there is no surf throughout Europe, if you had been to Europe you would not have made such an obvious lie. Only the countries with Atlantic coasts have surf in Europe and that's Britain France, Portugal and Spain and ALL beaches in ALL of these countries are public. I live on a beach in Bulgaria, where beaches are also public, some hotels claim to have a ‘private beach” but they don’t, its tourist BS.
Constant proof that no matter how cruel and harsh nature can be at times, it bares these gifts to us showing how noble animals are (regardless of species), certainly far more than us considering we decimate their numbers and invade/destroy,pollute their habitats with no accountability….. May this be a lesson for us, on how despite the negligence and arrogance of humans, we should learn to cherish how Animals share the territory in harmony and respect even with the toughness of Mother Nature.
You are absolutely correct on your comment! I NEVER litter and seeing how devastating plastic is to Marine Life and Migrating Birdies (Storklets, Bald Eaglets, Albatross, etc; it makes me ashamed that I gotta be in the same species of those with little or no regard for Nature or our Animal Kingdom! God gave Mankind the sole responsibility of being Stewards of the Animal Kingdom that HE created for us to take care of, nurture and love, not harm!💞
1:03 He is absolutely right. In a time of darkness, we need some light. There is so much hate and fear out in this world. We need more connections to the good things in life. What a cool story. I like it.
Appreciation of animals in the wild is such a privilege compared to looking at those in captivity. Congrats to those who experience the company of this precious seal. What an honour. Long live Sammy the seal.
Awwoooo, this is so cuuuuteee 🥹😍 How wholesome! Hang ten, Sammy! 🥰 Keep enjoying yourself, little one. Unexpected & momentary blessings in life can truly make sweet memories for a lifetime 💕
it appears, from an outside perspective, that he simply is enjoying himself. Free rides, big goofy-looking seal people smiling at him. Just vibing with the waves.
Depending on what the seals did the next 24 hours after this meeting I'd say that life under water has become so chaotic that these creatures are reaching out to humans as a desperate measure. Invite them in 💯👍
I love how no one was petting him, they just let him be and he loves them for it
Yup, they respected his space. That was so kind.
Not that anyone is policing out there but you'll get fined for touching or interfering with seals and sea lions in San Diego. We have a ton of them so they made them a protected species.
Well he was touched. The seaworld rescue team checked him and found him healthy. Pay attention to the video.
Wtf are those emojis?
I probably wouldn't be able to resist .. seals are just so darn cute!
I love when Jenny says "I'm never getting rid of this board!" It's one of those truly wonderful moments in your life that will never leave you.
and then you learn why he does that. cause he saw his mom get eaten by a shark there a few days ago and he's trying to find safe spots.
such a beautiful heart warming story. Adorable little guy.
So precious!!!!
he witnessed his mom get eaten by a shark a few days ago. he's trying to stay safe.

Please keep it safe! 🙏
Thank u to all the surfers for being so kind to Sammy & making him feel safe.

need more stuff like this, everywhere. heartwarming and uplifting. 💖💖
until you find out why he's doing that. he saw his mom get eaten by a shark there a few days ago. he's been trying to find safe harbor ever since.
What a great experience for those people. You know he’s soon going to need a bigger board.
Tourmaline Surf Park is a big board spot.
Good point.

yezzzzz especially reference to its opposite ...the sub w 5 crew missing near the titanic in the atlantic....prayers for both stories...

He probably sensed a predator and wanted company and cover. Then just started enjoying himself. This happens often actually.
