20 thoughts on “Getting cozy with an elephant seal”

  1. I think this is beautiful. It clearly is curious and interested in this woman… animals never cease to amaze me.

  2. That’s so cute and so sweet. It’s like a giant aquatic puppy, isn’t it. I think she did wonderfully, trying to communicate with the animal.

  3. it’s very cute, but oh man that freaks me out. i don’t know about elephant seals, but my knowledge of harbor seals has left me distrusting. out on the cape (cape cod, ma) where i grew up we have hundreds of harbor seals lining the shore an the average summer evening. tourists who get too close risk serious bodily harm. they are as cute and playful as puppies when they are in the water, but on land they’re more like honey badgers than anything else.

    that whole video left me twitching in my seat hoping the girl didn’t get mauled.

  4. “I hope it goes extinct and i am the one who gets to kill the last one.”

    What an educated comment…

    Anyway, the seal looks like it’s waiting to be petted.

  5. For the record, this sort of activity is what leads to stingrays putting a spike in your heart. Take the soundtrack away and you’ve got a very large predator and a very small predator trading spit on the beach. This could have ended very poorly.

    Being drunk isn’t an excuse to being an ignorant jackass.

  7. So we gotta say goodbye for the summer
    baby I promise you this
    I’ll send you all my love
    every day in a letter
    Seal with a kiss

    Yes it’s gonna be a cold, lonely summer
    but I feel the emptyness
    I’ll send you all my dreams
    every day in a letter
    Seal with a kiss

    I’ll see you in the sunlight
    I’ll hear your voice everywhere
    I’ll run to tenderly hold you
    but baby you won’t be there

    I don’t wanna say goodbye for the summer
    knowing the loneliness
    so let us take a pledge to meet in September
    and
    Seal with a kiss

    Yes it’s gonna be a cold lonely summer
    but I feel the emptyness
    I’ll send you all my love
    every day in a letter

    Seal with a kiss

  8. She was smart enough to not pat it and kept her hands near her body at all times. I was surprised to see penguins mixing with seals on a beach. Did anyone notice the cute penguins running around in the background?

  9. I’d hit it…that girl that is.

    I’d also hit the seal…but with a club.

    Just kidding…on one of those statements.
