Polar Obsession (National Geographic)

[emiiba1]

That's amazing!

[TheLyingMustache]

Time to get in to the water ya.

[dubbified]

I feel technology will overcome the massive divide in people and all species, really opening things up through communication, instant connections globally to this sort of information.

:) Armageddon, is right.

End of the way it used to be.

What will you make of tommorrow?

[leshark]

GOD DAMN! i never knew seals were that big. jesus crys

[KillerKMSU]

Get that bitch a penguin. Bitches love penguins.

[TheLyingMustache]

@KillerKMSU Kylar.

[Indyaner]

incredible

[Cakerolled]

MARIJUANA

[skeletonsocks20]

Great story but shouldn't try and do a South African ascent !! or whatever ascent that is ???

[MisterBreezer]

@skeletonsocks20

I think it was Canadian, but i'm just guessing. Why woud he have a south african guide in the Antarctic? ;p

[monkeycatxx]

@MisterBreezer Perhaps because South Africa is much closer to Antarctica than Canada?

[MisterBreezer]

@monkeycatxx

Like i said i have no idea what accent he was trying to go for, but logic dictates that it is more likely to be a person who comes from a cold climate anyway, not a 30 degree + kinda place.

[MisterBreezer]

@monkeycatxx

Oh and that's in Celsius.

[2stepninja]

man you tell the best stories

[marcussilvamgs]

whatafuck are those horned animals? 0:07

[effieromperstomper]

@marcussilvamgs Narval.

[Kazekagemurphman]

@marcussilvamgs Thats a narwhal mate.

[MikeHuntagape]

Should have told her you prefer KitKats

[BloodRedChorizo]

A wild Lapras appears!

[Pwntzyou]

Best... job... ever...

[silver822]

I bed she was sad when her camera baby lefted her. :(

[productiveamerican]

so you ate the penguins for four days?

[undRoid01]

Respect her autoritah !

[dafiki123]

No dessert until you eat your meat, son!

[tomlandrymidleschool]

don't be rude, EAT YOUR FUCKIN' PENGUIN.

[lilbrownbunny]

She probably thought he was a juvenile seal (streamlined in his wetsuit and all). Plus, he was considerably smaller than she, and darker (like a baby leopard seal). She made several attempts to feed him and teach him to hunt, and got panicky when he appeared unable to learn. I bet she's a good mother with instincts like that...great story.

[ihateuutube]

@lilbrownbunny Yeah, she probably thought it was a young, special ed seal and wanted to him a hand.

[mvies77]

I would have ate one so she would stop killing penguins for me. With her size she could wipe out the whole penguin population trying to feed this dumb thing that won't eat. I mean what does this guy want, penguin under glass, flambé or with cherries jubilee. I guess I could bring him a whale.

Great pictures, wonderful story.

[productiveamerican]

@mvies77 ahaha thumbs up!

[JeffWithAnF]

Wow that really some incredible stuff!

[Scienceprevails]

The most hauntingly beautiful story I have ever heard.

[justintimeforthis]

Amazing story and photos too! What an honor to be cared for like a child by this beautiful beast.

[than217]

Those things have been known to kill humans on a regular basis too! That's amazing.

[BirdInBlueSky]

Amazing story. You wouldn't think such a predator as this would show such nurturing behaviour. Just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover. And beautiful shots too xxx

[rzega02]

That is incredible! This predator of the ocean found the diver curious and then decided to help him learn the ways of hunting and the ocean. This proves to me that animals have the ability to feel sympathy and compassion for other life. My usual thought of animals in nature is that they act on instinct, a built in code of survival and fight or flight reactions and little to no reasoning at all. But this sort of clip proves me wrong and shows that animals are much more, and full of surprises.

[45axelh]

All depends on how advanced the life form is... spiders are all about instinct.

[hardom]

@rzega02 Somtimes, a camera lens can look like a mirror. I can understand a leopard seal not understanding the concept of a mirror and just seeing another seal in need of help.

[loco039]

Wao! is incredible story, it made me thought that a wild animal can share so much love more than the mankind.

[gregtestagent]

I would've at least pretended to eat one of the penguins, just to show my new mama I cared for her cooking.

[heidizign]

What a wonderful tribute to the goodness of a member of the animal kingdom. What a wonderful story to open our eyes to seeing animals in a different way. There are so many stories of animals who have rescued humans.

[theoquach]

Aww the leopard seal found the love of her life.

[emzy0o0o]

di enyone think how the penguins think of getting eaten

[JamesJ30t]

I think leopard seal liked him.

[videotitan1]

This guy has a very good story to tell his grandchildren.

[ryandonz]

thats a lot of wasted penguin

[rosalie939]

Thank you for this wonder of wonders! May the planet see all of our creatures helping each other, including us!

[jobeatty]

this is beyond fantastic! She could have easily eaten him, but instead she believed he needed help or something and offered him gifts of food. WOW... kinda makes you think how unpredictable nature is.

[ernthem]

lol. that's cute.

[StL33T]

thats a story that you can tell for camp fire stories.

[RoscoBuzzin09]

If only it was so easy to tame polar bears, seals etc id look after a polar bear like my little brother :3 <3

[PenguinThug]

Big Friendly Giant! :D

[lllAnonlll]

Awesome story.

[mortXyuriXluver]

People should be more like this :D

[polarityrecords]

she just kept bringin' him penguins like a little cat brings you a mouse like she had a little penquin convenience store just down the street from her house. of course he should've eaten some penguin that would've been the gracious thing to do i know i would've certainly taken a bite and i'm sure that you would've too. so next time you're in the arctic, my friend and a leopard seal brings you a treat show some manners, and show some gratitude, and eat, why don't you! EAT!

[garbagedisposal764]

omg @ polarityrecords! i think its so funny and fantastic that you took the time to write the poem about a friendly seal!

that seal is so nice!!!! :)

[polarityrecords]

haha! Glad you liked the poem. But it didn't take so much time, really. Knocked it off in about 3 minutes or so.

[WTFbuttons]

That... is... SO CUTE. <3

[luvlyorchid88]

[mattbredlo]

Great vid, keep em coming.

[kiteofnight]

Absolutely incredible. Seriously, just wonderful.

[MurphyC159]

"Time ta get in tha water ya?"

[kiteofnight]

Was literally about to quote the same thing haha.

[SeverEnergia]

Leopard seal gives you a penguin - you better eat the fucking penguin.

[RollingReunion]

[claireshrew]

[akmalegmail]

[civicstyle101]

[davydiver]

So, what was it like eating penguins for 4 days? :)

[eglbc]

DID THE CAMERA DIED?

[vandal9202]

No, the seal fed it penguins and took care of it so that it wouldn't starve. :P

[balrogspain]

Wow, that is very strange. i kind of wish i was this man.

[choc6915]

DUGG!

[Spectreman]

That's awesome!

[augmentator]

Can't imagine the willpower needed to get into the water with something as potentially dangerous as that. Still, some incredible shots.

[serentonin]

feed me!

[jonathan102]

this is beautiful.

[Jintamil]

What an amazing story, the experience sounds very spiritual too, musta been very fun and exciting for him!

[theOvin]

During this time he also found out how delicious penguins are.,,

[jlopen]

Wow! He could have at least eaten one of the penguins she brought him.

[yobizzaN]

[iw3]

Narwhals I think.

[Notouchtail]

[Travelwise65]

Narwhals

[Travelwise65]

They are members of the porpoise family.

[00dragonfly]

No they are NOT members of the porpoise family, those are Cetaceans, seals are members of the Pinniped family.

[blaqphli]

Indeed, top video.

[thewatcher101]

this should be the top video

[ijprovo]
