Crazy to think that this is the world we live in, absolutely fascinating to see these animals. Once you start paying attention, you'll see that we don't need an alien world, we have enough "aliens" here to explore. We just take it all for granted.
We must make a difference
Beautiful comment
Were All Aliens Bro
I couldn't agree more. Also, these amazing creatures need to be preserved and prototected lest they be lost forever.
It's not about ''needing'' an alien world to exist, its about looking for evidence of there being one. Exploring science with the intention of ''needs being met alone'' takes the fun out of it. Science should be explored for all it's wonder and what all it has in store for itself. Not to draw rash conclusions based on anyone's needs for anything being impossible. Science should be a thing of awe mystery and wonder. Science without religion is lame and religion without science is Blind!!!! Blessed by natural law are all they who study science in it's purity with unconditional love.
the cinematography here should not go understated, feels like I'm watching a blockbuster film except it's all real. Whoever took these shots, be proud. You're a master at your craft.
Almost more like a Pixar film, or maybe cgi like avatar
the close up shots of their claws and teeth were amazing
This never gets old. I find them not just utterly fascinating but their grotesqueness to be comical.

Magnificent creatures!!! I hope they are still around in another century
humanmade climate change says no.
Because of Neil, I found out about these adorable creatures, and I cannot get enough of them
That bull even though losing 10kg everyday was still bigger and stronger. Incredible.
It took me a second to realize the people crowding the beach were actually penguins 💀
So much of nature is about survival and replication; the preserving and passing on of one’s genes.
Thank goodness humans have a choice to do more.
Aye animals are impossibly simple in ways that humans will never understand. Eat/Hunt, Sleep, maybe a fight or too, mate and repeat. I wish human life was that simple
@@6Star_KiddMost humans don't accomplish much more than that in their lives tbh. However, you are still correct.
This just sounds like the most horrific toilet sounds. I'm actually worried about playing this without headphones, lol.
"You thought you'd stick your nose into my business? I think not!!!"
filming is insane. amazing
1:07 when you step on that sharp lego piece
You make fart sounds? Weirdo
When I was a kid I saw an Elephant Seal Bull at the St.Louis Zoo. I had never even heard of one this being over 60 years ago. I thought it was a statue sticking up out of the water. It grunted loudly sunk beneath the surface and scared the hell out of me. If you ever get the chance to visit the St. Louis Zoo make sure you do .
One of the best Zoo’s in the world….And it’s FREE!!!
Really when did the st louis zoo have elephant seals I've been going there my whole life and I don't recall seeing them there
@@stevenelbert8989Really , it was a long time ago but I know what I saw.
I was 9 or 10 which means around 1960. On another trip I saw Marlin Perkins drive by in a golf cart. It is one of my favorite Zoos with an incredible Lion and Gorilla exhibits.Later in he 70's when I was in the Navy I worked across the street and I lived around the corner from the San Diego zoo in Balboa Park.Both very nice Zoos.
@@stevenelbert8989 In zoos, these wild animals are everywhere, but they are trained not to harm humans.
@@mesaeddie it was in the 1960 oh okay I was born in 1999 that explains it
When I lived in Vancouver we would see these on occasion.
Thats amazing.
@@needsbeer the pups are cute water puppies🥺
@@Littlekoji-df1cf
Yes they are. Just don't get to close because they can surprisingly move fast and they are mean like my ex Sydney
Antarctica 🇦🇶
Yes
Meanwhile the penguins are betting on the games.
10 fish on the challenger
Amazing moving camera angles. I've seen wild elephant seals, but they're always a disappointment compared to the closeup angles that we see on BBC Earth.

Damn I love that outro it never gets old.
This is life.
Lol listen to the video only and you'll think someone is blowing up a toilet
Audio.
The music at the end was so captivating. It reminded me of Interstellar.
The suren beauty of mother nature on full display here.
"David Attenborough narrating over constant farting"
The subtitles don't match what Sir David Attenborough says.
0:15 David Attenborough says: 'This bull elephant seal holds the mating rights to 60 females'.
What's actually written: 'This bull elephant C o Sumatra, March, June 60 females'.
No I’m pretty sure those subtitles are accurate
St Andrew's Beach. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
Excelente a minúcia do camara man...Uma batalha de gigantes!! O dominante e o dominado ...a dualidade também se assiste no mundo destes animais!!Ganha a lei do mais forte?! ou do experiente?!...
Imagine the very early early humans first seeing something like that coming their way 😱
Would've shat themselves XD.
@@jahrusalem3658 i think we all would shit ourselves
@@jahrusalem3658 They wiped out the mammoths though 🤣
@@MrOiram46 Yeah, doesn't mean they can't be intimidated by a several-ton animal.
@@MrOiram46 No we didn't. We sped it up their extinction but we didn't make them extinct .
Mamma mia😵
I witnessed these battles in California. Impressive to see, but I can't forget the smell like rotten liver coming from the animals.
must be such an experience! :'D
This reminds me of the sauropod fight in prehistoric planet.
They drew inspiration from this to write that scene
@@wolfman2.055 I can see that😄
Fascinating as usual,, well done
One of the more underwhelming of the BBC Earth videos. Most are truly great.
They may have thick skin, but look at those hideous wounds! Some very fresh! No easy life.

Finally the story behind that beautiful outro
Bro won't even share just one of his hundred ladies 🤣😆
Ah yes, the source for BBC Earth's end cards. 😊
I'd still like to know what the music is for these end cards. I can't seem to find it.

Respect to camera works, i thought this is too amazing to be real it’s look like cgi
ナレーションが好き❣️激しいバトルであまり傷つかないといいけど😱平和でありますよう様に💓
戦争で誰かが傷つき、
only male beings do wars, the inferior Ys
Отличный бой👍
This is so dramatic. But I can relate to this. It is pretty much like to battle between me, my sister(middle child), and my brother(the youngest)
Fighting over the remote or to bake with our nana
Looks like my family fighting over the last turkey leg at Thanksgiving

Oh wow, they are really aggressive 🤐🙁🤯
Can't let others take the booty😏
Sounds like me after eating taco bell at 1:27 - 1:37
4 tons, holy shit that's a big boy.
They are funny the way they let the penguins run
Wonderful place
Slow motion fight scene
Came here from two Idian slaping each other 😂

Reminds me of Happy Feet 2.
Sorry, dad just got back from a colonoscopy 😂😂😂
2:00 Wow.😂
I've never seen that animal before
Face only a mother could love.
Like him that.😊

Scarier than even two grizzlies fighting.
I would love to see someone ride one of those male elephant seals.
Bros has the biggest harem
Masha Allah
Walrus vs walrus fighting
Unspoiled wilderness and no human inhabide places where wildlife is untameable is another reason I will live off grid and where I'll be.
best part 1:29
No, best part is just a few seconds earlier, 1:22 with all the penguins screaming "OH LAWD HE COMIN, GET OUT THE WAY!"
Byran: WE ARE OUTSIDE
Basically my family reunions 😅
Being Bull Elephant Seal is a hard life.
he battle between two bull elephant seals is a spectacle of nature that captivates both curiosity and controversy. While some see it as a display of dominance and power, others question the ethics of animals fighting for supremacy.
why would people question the ethics of nature? what would they do about it anyways?
Ethics of animals? Wasn't aware animals or nature had any ethics. They (animals) are guided by instincts not a moral compass as humans.
Ethics of animals fighting? That's just nature. What will they do? Tell the seals to stop fighting?
My guy, that's just what they do. What are you gonna do? Stop the 4 ton seals from fighting?
Something tells me that this is an AI generated response.
Fabulous content, especially with the amazing Sir David Attenborough's voice.
We're all praying that he finds our Creator soon.
@@lassenker07 no lol
Subtitles are wild on this one.💀
These seals are SIMPS 😂
Part of that looked like a.i.
What a sounds! Try to listen, but don't watch)))

Fun fact I got chased by one in new Zealand
Terrifying
Was amazing to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I always wondered why elephant seals didn't evolve to have bigger teeth to win these battles. Does anyone know?
There’s probably no need for the teeth to be bigger since they get the job done, as shown here. They’d most likely only develop bigger teeth if they needed to kill their opponent.
@@colinfisher6750 I can't image how having bigger teeth than what they have currently does not give them a huge advantage in these battles. I'm not saying they should have tusks like real elephants, just bigger than what they are now. I can't think of any evolution pressure that keeps them this small.
The teeth don't really come into play during these fights. All males have tons of scars from bites against other males. The REAL
damage they inflict upon another is when they use their weight and mass to slam into their opponent. As the narrator says,
"blubber 15cm thick protects from the cold, but not from the impact of a 4 ton opponent."
Not that the bites don't hurt, but it's the slam that does 90% of the damage.
@@TheRed971 But still 4 tons behind a long tooth should cause more damage than 4 ton behind a small one, right?
@@Fiyaaaahh The design of the animal would change completely by that point. In order to compensate for the longer fangs, the blubber would have to be even thicker, which means the animal is now possibly larger and heavier than it was before. Without that change, longer fangs mean that fights between males would result in more fatalities since the fangs would pierce deeper and cause more potentially fatal injuries.
“Get!”
Holding, number 68, offense. replay first down.
It's so weird to see seals still having claws/nails on their flippers. A reminder that indeed they evolved from bears.
They didn't evolve from bears. Bears are just their closest living relatives.
Where did the video audio go
1:45 haha fart war
Reminds me of my ex
Funny, cause your ex told me the same thing about you
@@ronlacker326 No... she really didn't. My ex was about as fit as a double bass.
OK, I know that elephant seals exist, but what in the everloving hell is a bull elephant seal? Is this like a more elite version of the elephant seal with more HP & armor?
Bull means male
Bull means male
After taco bell be like:
Sheesh that sounds pretty miserable, having to fight constantly and not even getting a chance to eat
they sound like taco bell restrooms
Protect the Seals 😢
Why should we protect the seals when we refuse to even protect people?
