Hunted almost to extinction, Antarctic fur seals were able to bounce back and increase their numbers. What intrigues you most about these resilient creatures?
What are their current numbers?
Their whole existence intrigues me ❤
Is 400 enough to avoided inbreeding?
More from this guy! he's awesome
What intrigues me is why tf humans even existed....
Pups: Playing and having a good time.
Adult seals: *Literally having WW3 Behind them*

You have the best job in the world sir, keep it up
I'll bet there are days he'd rather be sittin' at a desk in a warm office.
Spencer Sipes sounds fun but doesn’t seem like the best job ever at some points because seems like it can get lonely after a while
5:05
they sit hours and hours with camera to shoot animals but we can even stay looking to our domestic animals
The sad part is that if your a wildlife photographer you can not under any circumstances interact with any animal in any way
"Cuteness doesn't last long"
That's the saddest truth in existence
It's a cliche lie.
Half a lie there are some animals that go from cute to demonic
The actual saddest truth is that you'll never be special, no matter what you do or what you achieve is never going to be good enough to give some sort of impact to this vast universe, because in the end of the day you'll realize that you won't live forever meaning you'll never be able to see what lies beyond the expanding walls of this universe and the entity thats behind all this.
@Interstellar Overdrive Idk up to you, I just find it sad that we'll die not knowing who or what created us. I really want to know the truth of the universe and Its up to you if you do the same.
nothing lasts long
Cuteness doesn’t last long? I beg to differ they’re adorable fat sea dogs
Joe lol they’ll go for our jugulars if we annoy them, they are cute though

Amazing, very well done. It’s always exciting to see a wildlife comeback story
Agreed.
soon there will be over-population and we will need to thin the heard once again.
Na i'm almost certain the human interaction will cause illness which will decimate the remaining population
Pretty sure we cloned these guys
@@sud6646 no we just need to bring back more predators
Does anyone know the anatomy of creatures?It's weird but they seem really flexible but really fat and clumsy at the same time and it confuses me. Still super cute though lol
For seals they aren’t fat.
Can't See Me. Obviously they’re flexible. They’re excellent swimmers. Yeah they’re fat with a layer of fat to protect them in very cold conditions but they have muscle too.
I hope teir zoo does a video on this type of seal

Half fish, half dog with hair, half cow and half whale. I love evolution.
I didn't know four halfs made a whole ;)
Evolution has nothing to do with it. The four animals did a fusion dance and that made the fur seals.
Evolution doesn't exist
fur seals are twice the person yall will ever be
@@hillary5271 ur knowledge doesn't exist tf.
This shows the importance of a good thumbnail!
Glad I'm not the only one!!!
5:10 Ah shiny! ✨
What a great opportunity to be able to observe them, slowly growing in numbers in this safe haven. All it needs is to just be left alone. 🙂
no.. they need more equality.
well obviously in the modern world there is no real way any species (besides dangerous invasive species) 2ould be hunted to extinction
@@fernybern I don't think dangerous invasive species should be hunted to Extinction
Simply clearing out the areas that they are invading would suffice
If they went extinct then it would leave a hole in their native ecosystem
I know what you mean but "Extinction" doesn't apply to Regions
@@mauirandall8176 You realize "Invasive species" DOESN'T refer to their native ecosystem. Invasive species SHOULD be hunted to extinction! Example; pythons in Florida. You'd stop caring about how many of those wretched snakes die when you realize how destructive they are to the ecosystem. It's not as easy as simply "clearing out areas" ... They are there permanently, no matter how many of them you catch, you can only *hope* to diminish their numbers so they stop hurting the ecosystem.
Polar bears bears has joined the seals have left the chat
Usually I have a pretty bad attention span, which means I can't really focus on most videos for more than a few minutes. But your animal documentaries really fascinate me and I can watch them in a whole row!
Edit: thank you so much for all the likes, I never got that many before :o and for the people asking if I have some kind of condition: I don't exactly know, I've been to a therapist for many years because I sometimes have phases were I feel depressed and I have unusual mood swings, but they didn't give an official diagnose yet. But it probably has to do with my attention problems, I'm not sure. Anyway, I hope I didn't distract anyone from the video lol
I know right!
J G yeah me too!
Do you have some kind of disorder? If so what do you have.

0:14 MY HEART MELTED
SO THE MORAL TO THE STORY IF YOU ARE A MALE SEAL IS TO FORGET ABOUT HAVING A HAREM OR A MATE AND CONCENTRATE ON EATING AND ENJOYING LIFE. Come to think of it, seals aren't so different than humans!
i can't say you're wrong.
drServitis ye
Not only that, wait to the end of the season and sneak up in a female while the Male who has the spot on the beach is exhausted. So they get to eat and chill and smash. Lol.
well, they can keep on eating, and working out (surviving) and eventually they'll get big enough to put up a better fight than a year ago. Being lucky or clever works too.
drServitis yes !!! Awe! At least they can eat well and bask in the sun along the beaches and not worry over all the stresses of finding a mate lol. Their battles for dominance can get ugly !
Omg I can’t take HOW CUTE THEY ARE AHHHHHHH
We definitely agree with this, Samantha. Thanks so much for watching, and come back for more episodes!
Always liked NatGeo!
These are the types of filmmakers who should makes documentaries. Just amazing to watch and listen too even if you don’t even know the animal. It makes me want to watch much more
I can’t believe this guy found a shiny fur seal
Did anyone fricken notice how flexible these seals are?
3:15 and 5:57 you were saying?
@bruceownsu
We’re no talking about worms they probably didn’t think they were that flexible since how they are on land (referring to the male seals) so chill
