    I was snorkeling just off the beach in Puerto Peñasco, México once following a school of fish when the school parted and a seal with its mouth wide open swam thru the part, right up to my face turning 90 degrees in the last meter. I gave an underwater ''I'm not a fish!'' scream but I got the message to back off during feeding opportunities. hehe

    So wunderbare Tiere müssen wir schützen …der Seeleopard , der Schneeleopard und der Tiger sind das Vermächnis der Menschheit !!! Und nur die Menschheit kann diese einzigartigen Tiere bewahren !!!

  17. Cal King Herper says

    Its cute in a very morbid way

  18. Timothy Pham says

    Thats amazing

  19. 21'st Century Digital Boy says

    AMAZING story! All animals are friendly or indifferent to humans if respected and not harassed. My husky plays with coyotes and the bonds I have formed with certain species of lizard, like agamas, are one I will carry with me to the grave.

  20. ___ N I C E ___ says

    SO AMAZING YET SO FUNNY SEAL💖

  35. Brody Miller says

    I'd take it, I guess

  36. NinjaOnANinja says

    No wonder it was called Dewgong. Say gong over and over again and you basically mimic the noise that he is talking about. D

  37. Edwin Alvarez says

    If a 12ft+ lepord seal gives you a penguin you take it.

  38. Jessen Githui says

    he could just have grabbed the penguin n play along not just snap pics….why humans be so?

  39. I am zwei says

    the seal thinks you is a nice human and wants to give you the snacc

  40. NinjaOnANinja says

    I want the whole speech. This was great.

    I will say, I hate the fact that he is trying to dehumanize the animal. We are all animals, they are just too basic and we too advanced but we are the exact same as far as living things, which is why it was trying to feed him. It knows the truth, he just forgot and seems to repress it.
