    It looks like a puppy following a friend down the road. Only the road in this case is Scotland’s Forth Estuary, an arm of the North Sea near Edinburgh, and the puppy is an energetic gray seal, probably a juvenile. After tailing kayaker Alistair Forrest and his companion for about a mile, the seal took advantage of a break in the paddling to hop aboard Forrest's kayak. There, the sleek marine mammal sprawled out as if ready to come along. Forrest and his companion voice their amazement at the unplanned wildlife encounter. Video: Newsflare.com/Halox

    I went to a marina science center in east germany a couple of years ago, where they were studying Seals and Grey Seals in the baltic sea. One can rent a day swimming with these beautiful beings in station. They are amazing beings, curious, friendly and playful (of course, they are used to have humans around them). Being with them in the water was the most amazing experience i've ever had, especially when you have in mind that they can mess you up without any problems if they want, because they are totally superior over a human in the water.

    And now, everyone should understand why seals are called "sea-dogs" in German.

    And according to this comment thread, also in

    - Hebrew
    - Dutch
    - Danish
    - Vietnamese
    - Serbo-Croat
    - Indonesian
    - Spanish ("sea wolf", close enough)
    And appearently "sea-dog" is the word for "shark" in
    - Croatian
    - Serbian
    (oddly contradictory to Serbo-Croat mentioned above)

    As a side history lesson, this is actually why seals almost became extinct in America about a hundred years ago because they're so gentle of an animal and curious they would just swim right up to the boats and then be killed. Same exact reason why sea otters on the Oregon coast almost went extinct about 70 years ago because they're very curious and very gentle animals. But the sea otter population is back pretty strong here on the Oregon coast which is good. There's no reason to harm these really gentle animals.

The activists have a way of talking out both sides of their mouths. They complain about poverty, starvation, war, etc - then complain about over-population, which is routinely controlled through poverty, starvation, war, and disease. If the socialists have their way across the globe, you will be happily rewarded with massive poverty and starvation (currently see Venezuela). That should take care of your over-population concerns.

      that's what I was thinking, but it looks like they are in some sort of closed area, like a bay or something: maybe it's the kind of place where many people kayak and swim every day and the local fauna lives in their close proximity. seals are very intelligent and curious, if they're used to humans they're likely to approach them just to see what's up.

    Everyone’s saying, “oh he was tired” or “there’s a giant shark beneath the kayaks”... but nobody’s even considering the idea that this seal could have adopted the habit of bombarding kayakers for fish. The seal was so quick to reach out and sniff the person’s hand when they extended it, almost as if the seal was EXPECTING something.

      All three are plausible theories, and I don’t think the seeking safety one is as unlikely as it sounds
      Lots of animals instinctively know when you have ill intentions towards them, or are hunting them, if the seal truly believes those kayakers were bad news, it would have swum directly in the opposite direction
      But they didn’t have any ill intent, so if there was something in the water that was dangerous to the little guy, I can perfectly see him taking shelter with some humans, it wouldn’t be the first time in nature where members of different species stuck close to one another for safety

      @alicepyne-jahneke8042 3 роки тому

      That was a seal, not a sea lion. Sea lions (not seal lions) have very large front flippers they use to walk on land, and they have noticeable ear flaps, where seals front flippers are much smaller so on land they wiggle on their bellies, and they do not have noticeable ear flaps. Also sea lions are brown and they have a loud bark, like the ones at the sea parks. Seals are darker in color, and they do not bark
