Look at you. Sailing through the water majestically. Like an eagle. Piloting a blimp.

This is the ideal seal body. You may not like it, but this is what peak sealiness looks like.

Seal of quality

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I'm assuming seals have always been big bois, but do seals look fatter now than in previous generations, and could that be due to an increase food waste in our ocean

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah what a life. The seal is the biggest thing in those waters and probably has no natural predators.

It has therefore lost its ability to electrocute on contact.

I never thought about if David holds a camera

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

He's 98 years old, so if he did at some point I suspect he doesn't anymore
