Evade your predators by wallowing in mud so much you glitch through the ground and reappear in the ocean, evolution is a marvel!

The most adorable possible animal friendship: dog, and wet dog. What a great pair they make, any idea where this comes from? I'm wondering if there's more footage of them out there.


A seal is the only animal on which this motion wouldn't look photoshopped. A creature made of living rubber.

No unfortunately, seems like it was posted here years ago but there isn't any context: https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/hpekvx/dog_and_their_baby_seal_friend/

That seal slaps, confirm. I've always wondered why they do that, there's got to be a reason!

In return: what if seal, but also 1950s sci-fi raygun???

seals basically slap as a fitness display. various contexts for this - e.g. gently caress off, this is my fish! - but it basically boils down to Oi, There Is A Healthy Seal Here

Wait, so belly-slapping is the seal equivalent of dudes flexing on the beach? That's hilarious, oh my god. Now I'm picturing Schwarzenegger-like bodybuilders slapping their abs and making noises like a clown horn.

Clearly we must send the sumos as our ambassadors to sealkind, so that they will respect us. Give them dogs too, to translate.

Edit: as soon as I posted this I was struck by an intense mental image of a sumo flopping along a beach on his belly toward a mass of seals, honking with every flop. Alas that this is a world where we cannot see this.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I dearly need to know where to find more Mr Nosey content, if such a thing exists. What a perfect seal name. Do we know what sort of seal he is?

Apparently this harbor had a seal who lived there for 25 years, and now has a permanent life-sized statue of him gazing out from the rocks. Incredibly blessed town, long may it be watched over by seals.

The place and the seals (and the presence of the cat in the vid in the OP) all look and sound very similar to the famous slapping-cat video:

which was apparently at the Penglai Ocean Aquarium in China.

E: There's multiple instances of this happening too:

Here's some sort of false seal, but still:

I think he's just a harbour seal!
He gets posted a lot on this Rescuer's account. He currently lives at a Seal Sanctuary in Skegness.

There's also this beautiful Albino seal called Albie there right now :3:
