"And that means no"
Respect to our fallen brother.
Just like us. I mean myself. 🤣
@@budisudarsono6991 Hang in there, soldier! 😂🤘
so you are acknowledging that you are not even human 🤔!!
he shall find a mate one day
🤣🤣🤣
I'm always impressed at the wildlife photographers ability to bring us episodes like this!
... photographers' ability.
Plural possessive.
Can’t wait until Sunday hello from bbc planet earth biggest Canadian fan ;)
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 Yep, typing too fast because I got interrupted!
Hear hear
And so am I, Alana.
" No wonder he was deflated " 😂
Gotta add that to my dictionary
The cracked me up so brutally... still gasping for air!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤭
🥁 🥁🥁🤣🤣🤣
Even the seals understand consent!
😂
😭🤣🤣🤣
Not elephant seals and dolphins.
That is not consent. that is her period lol
Not when they take advantage of penguins!
Female seal: (talking on phone) uh huh.....uh huh.....yeah.....girl I told him to get gone cuz his balloon wasn't big enough for me
Lmao 😂
this is fascinating. also the footage they get is insane, especially under water
Absolutely insane.
2:02 The way he comes peeking around the corner is comedy gold 😂
I felt his pain. Been there before, keep your nose inflated my man. You'll get there.
😂😁
"Impressed?"
"No."
[Shows sac] "What about now?"
"EWW, FREAK, GET LOST!"
😂
😂😂
The things some animals find attractive is hysterical 😂
exactly
I was thinking the same hearing some turkeys gobbling about the other day.
Im straight up scarred!!
some women do lips improvements , also scary stuff
Agreed!
Amazes me how a fat bank account makes someone attractive all of a sudden! 😂😂😂
" and that means no "
Some of us know how that feels.
No means yes and yes means more...💡
@@salop4liife620 Nope.
@@salop4liife620 Don't be stupid
@@InsoIence no just means you gotta force her harder
@@salop4liife620 never
It’s been a while since good footage of hooded seals has been recorded. Amazing animals with the males sporting a unique feature! Reminds me of frigatebirds and their inflatable throat pouch.
So cool can’t wait for Sunday to see what else we get to see
Reminded me of a camel
Camels also do something similar with their tongues
@@Ambelica it’s not a tongue. It’s a sac called a dulla.
@@allstarpterosaur850 thank you for the info !
They:A sharp nip on the "tail"...
Us: A sharp slap in the crowd.
The worst she can say is no
The female seal:
“No wonder he is deflated” David you’re taking the piss 😂😂😂
At this point, I may as well give this method a try.
At this point, I might actually be impressed by it
😳😳
🙄🙄
hey girl
* *honks massive clown nose* *
I just love it: the stunning pictures, the humourous comments! Absolutely wonderful!
This is absolutely alien. I love it.
looks cgi
"An inflatable nose can be used to intimidate a rival" life advice i will take with me.
I first try bringing flowers, then use this as a last attempt
Flowers as in a bunch of seaweed and coral😆😂
They look like such powerful swimmers! So graceful underwater. Maybe not as much on land… 😄
seal always felt like an imaginary animal to me when I was a kid. Like who would've thought about a combination of a dog and a fish
Dang my guy. She hit him with the restraining order lol
The seal "spy hopping" lol
Nature and Animals are never boring to watch whats going on, but this was unexpecting !
Imagine the diver who filmed underwater🥶👍and the crew on the Ice.🎬
So true!!
The diver has no job and plenty of time taking useless pics
@@nasirnazeer6582 🤣🤣🤣
@@nasirnazeer6582 😂you are kidding...
It is mostly drones and underwater mini toy subs with cameras attached that catch these great pics and videos , most of the time it's not a person but a machine , you really think a diver can sit it those waters for hours just to get few seconds to minutes of good video 😏
1:25 this moment looks like something on a Hollywood or by CGI it’s so perfect 😮
BBC team is amazing. Always records story very well. 👍
Yes, everything about the English is the best.
Agreed. Compared to other channels, I also like documentaries by BBC earth, they always put interesting stories together
She said “Boy Bye”😆😭
Until I saw this video today I never knew that something like this existed,
I love how animals understand No means No!
Not all by any means. Ducks are notorious for mounting anything and everything, including raping females to death.
Exactly
They don’t, that’s what they are killing each other constantly. Even domestic animals like cats kill other cats when mating. The female can kill the male cat after doing it.
not ducks
not dolphins
Apparently for seals, size matters
So pretty much his thing wasn’t big enough so he was denied and hurried away in embarrassment and rejection… *relatable* 😭
Even seals understand, 'no, means no'.
lol the way he pops his head out of the water tho
Talk about being puffed up in pride!!🤣
The narrator can feel that guy's pain.
Amazing! Love the commentary too, it's so witty, and I think there is some sympathy with the young seal...
Really gives new meaning to “big balls,” huh.
Elephant seals, males in particular, seem straight out of Spirited away ahaha
Do the inflatable nose and flap under the nostril in any way relate to their ability to hold their breath underwater? Evolutionarily speaking, do they serve any purpose, which makes these features, in particular, so important for impressing potential mates?
I think it's just intersexual selection. It could possibly be a negative thing for males (as it is with male peacocks) but I don't know for sure :)
It may be completely useless or even bad.
Oftentimes, sexual selection degenerates as evolution goes on.
To understand why, I recommend you look into Goodhart's law.
I'll sum it up for you. It's about tests. Basically, when a new test turns out to be very good, it will first become more popular (take for example those big standardised exams to get into university) but what happens next is that the test becomes bad again. Why?
Well, as the test becomes more and more popular, more people become aware of it and they start focusing their studying and training on the test itself instead of preparing for whatever skill the test was testing.
The same happens in nature, there's some of it in every species.
We can use these seals as an example.
Imagine the first time some female elephant seal randomly became attracted to males with a deep voice.
That's a new and successful test! Deep voice = big male = strong male = stronger offspring. (Female mammals NEED to be selective because they have limited and costly chances to reproduce, if they mate without being picky, their pups might not be strong enough and the mother's genes will die forever.)
So okay, generations go on and females with that taste have an offspring that simply survives better, it's good, it spreads, it becomes popular.
But now, how did the test degenerate? Welp males developed the big nose to add depth to the noise they can produce, and it attracts females selecting for that trait just as good as being bigger. Males became good at the test, the test is now bad.
The balloon nostril may be useless in a similar fashion. But maybe it's also a way to show health with that nice red colour. Remember, even obsolete tests may retain some sort of good core.
It’s not “useless” it’s used to mate
If the male doesn’t have one the female might not even look it’s way
@@RightWitit that's just uselessness with extra steps lol
You're merely shifting the uselessness of the trait to the uselessness of the method of selection the females are adopting - and calling that useful.
The question remains: why do females want their future offspring to inherit that seemingly useless trait?
How amazing! I am absolutely impressed. Thank you for keeping us informed of the wonderful wildlife we know so little about!
Show off! Nature is incredible
I feel your pain youngster 😂
When he inflated his nostril, I felt for him cuz he was putting it all out there. And he could tell she wasn't going for it but he summoned the courage to try anyway. 😂
Any such adventure by a human male will land him a Me Too title.
“The worst thing she could say is no”
A sharp nip on the tail:
Excellent series by the BBC
This is so intriguing my goodness
Amazing Nature 👌❤️
Nature is astounding.
whoever put the bouncy ball effect in to make it sound like their nose is a legend
Absolutely amazing
My all time favorite Narrator of all time ❤
BBC Earth is the BEST👏👏👏
This voice really fits these wild documentaries
Outside of the awesomeness of the nature aspect of the video, can’t help but also admire their on-point zombie sound effects.
I think the female got attracted to the cameraman who was filming all this😜😜😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol....what funny commentary 😂
The sound design is so impressive
For people how don’t know
Pretty much all audio of from the animals is added in post
Great work Thank youU
Male dromedary camels also have a similar looking part of them that comes out of their mouth, called a dulla, if I'm not mistaken, which is appealing to a prospective mate.
wonderful!! thank you
Yes yes yes... Long live Sir David Attenborough
LOVE David Attenborough!
"Until the youngster has grown a more impressive balloon, he's unlikely to be chosen." HE JUST LIKE ME FORREAL
Lol
Awww the little seal pup 🦭
Moral of the story "Not every female is tempted by the 'big' stuff"
Wow this is fascinating...love it!🥰
I was eagerly waiting, then the dictator said, "That means No!!"
They look more scary than elephant seals
In fact, both hooded seals and elephant seals possess a proboscis, both the hooded seal and elephant seals are classified within the family Cystophoridae, Cystophoridae is a unique family of pinnipeds, this family is known to contain the largest living carnivoran in the world, which is the Southern Elephant Seal (Mirounga leonina).
elephant seals are huge, bro.
the leopard seal is scary af too.
This footage is amazing and they‘re so cute! 😍👍🏼 Nature is really incredible! 🤗🥰
only cute when it's not human doing it. In today's world the feminazis would be calling him creepy and hashtag nomeansNO and all sort of shenanigans
Cute?!
Very nice explanation
,,The bigger the nose, the better'', that figures 😁
Size does matter for seals
Beautiful video 😍
those soundeffects tho
Seals are such funny creatures.
بہت خوب بہت زبردست بی بی سی ہمیشہ کمال کی ویڈیوز لاتا ہے ہمارے لئے۔ بہت بہت شکریہ
"Its not the size that matters but how much you inflate it"
Nature has a sense of humor as well. They can't be serious, but joking!
I love Hooded Seal cause these are just some funny little seal
"And now this one is eager to prove it"
Now he will go to Jim as well to train his nostrils 🙌🏻😂
Awesome, thanks
Oh my god!!
He got rejected at the end
We'll, that certainly was something I just watched.
Soo impressive authentik.😻😻
Thank you!!😊
It feels like I'm watching dinosaurs.
😂😂 I'm feeling sorry for this male seal
Well looks like size does matters
And people though that the inflatable sacks in Prehistoric Planet were weird
The worst she can says is "no"
Her:
Female:”Eewwwwwww!”
Clean place
Incredible!
I like how they added the sound of someone slapping a dodge ball.
Ofc only on BBC
Bro the sac in the nose touching ice, that must be so painful holy...
My man! She had just given birth! Boundaries! Come on!
Nature is amazing
