That looks like Hout Bay harbor in Cape Town, South Africa. Unfortunately, people interact with the seals, often feeding them and irritating them. After a while, the seals get aggressive when they are not given food or people harass them, as in this case and the local authorities have to come and put the seal down. There are even one or two instances where the harbor locals have tried to style themselves as 'seal whisperers' to con the tourists into parting with their money and the seal ends up suffering. All round its a bad situation.
This looks more like the parents told the Child to do this for some awesome pics. Why else would they already be filming and the father runs with his phone in his hand.
The man says "guys it's ok" as if he is charging for people to take pictures with his pet. This is not the dad..this is a douche selling peddling his ""pet".
If I've learned anything from my time on Reddit, I'm pretty sure that's a Sea Lion since it supports itself on it's flippers, except for the odd cases when a Seal looks like a Sea Lion, and vice versa.
Right? Seals have sharp teeth like dogs, only bigger! She really could have gotten hurt badly. The seal could have rolled over on her and smashed her to death. Stupid parents
I almost lost a finger to infection and the doctor was really hesitant about going more than 7 days on antibiotics. The longest was h pylori at 14 days and that fucked me up. Antibiotics are no ho.
My uninformed opinion is that there is almost no way you'll need antibiotics for 6 months. You either get rid of the bacterial infection before that or you switch to something broader/narrower or more powerful.
Isn’t this the same place where two seals are fighting and the dude just jumps in the middle and makes them stop? I wonder if they are the same seals. They deserve names if they’re the same ones.
If I am not mistaken but the seal was not completely wild. It waa fed by a fisherman for a long time and would pose for pictures with people for fish. So it makes sense that the girl didn't completely lose her face.
Now that kid will fear animals. Obviously some animals are to be feared, especially wild animals. You will never know how they react. But yeah, way to almost get your kids face bitten off.
The seal’s reaction was actually pretty crazy given that it didn’t bite a chunk of flesh out of the girl and run. They need to watch some Ocean Conservation Namibia videos on YouTube.
What were the parents expecting to happen? What like the poor seal would just tolerate having a kid tossed on its back? Hell no honestly the amount of parents I see doing this shit is terrifying, these ones might need to be sealed… away if this ends being a recurring theme.
In my state they just take your kid and give it to a family that rapes them or kills them. It's actually really bad and a bunch of the contracted facilities and homes got shut down over the last couple years because of it. They'll take your kid away because you got caught smoking pot or something at work and stick them with a serial pedophile that somehow gamed the system.
Humans like to downplay the intelligence of animals because of the way we treat them and eat them, but most animals are actually pretty smart and know how to read the room fairly well. That animal had no reason to hurt the kid. It just needed to show the parents that it was out of patience and it was very effective.
Perhaps the kinder approach for the people involved (including the kid) would be to have the parents (If those are the parents) forced to do some parenting education?
You say that as if every generation haven't been dumb assholes sometimes, millennial generation [and the subsequent ones] just have it filmed more often
And if that seal or sea lion bit the child, they could be at serious risk. Google Seal Finger. It is serious and could mean amputation. Can you imagine a small child having to be treated for this?
What horrible people to put a little girl at risk like that. She could’ve been seriously disfigured or even killed. Not to mention the animal would’ve prob been put down just for trying to protect itself. Selfish adults.
For real. I cannot stress enough how dangerous seals can be, that girl is lucky he didn't latch his teeth into her neck. Boom, dead child. This girl is one of the luckiest children imaginable, and the parents deserve to be charged with reckless endagerment.
"It's just a big water dog! Go pet it honey." Domesticated family dogs have ripped apart children and killed people plenty of times too, Susan. You try to give a milk bone to a wild wolf at Yellowstone?
There has never been a single reliably documented case of a healthy wolf attacking a healthy adult human. Not a single one, ever. Sick and starving wolves have attacked humans, and wolves have attacked children or injured humans as easy prey, but humans are large and dangerous enough and wolves are smart enough to go in search of easier prey.
What could possibly go wrong
All things considered that seal took it easy on her
Stop breeding you fucking idiots…
Honestly should have to apply to have kids at this point with this level of stupidity.
The dad needs his ass whipped
[удалено]
not the kid's fault
More like the adults who allowed this
That would be
Not in this case, their parents are to be blamed
I put this one entirely on the parents
Eh the kid doesn't know any better, but that dad is a stupid cunt.
Damn is that Brendan Schaub? 😂🤣
Doesn’t even put down his phone.
Praise the fuckin cameraman
donthelpjustfilm
Had I been shown that man bag and ankle socks previous to the video I could have told you something like this would happen with him in charge.
Kids panic actually saved her
Someone seriously thought hey let's video this?
Holy SHIT they are so lucky this guy didn't just chomp down on their kid's face while they sat there like idiots.
Kids are fucking stupid
parents, in this case
He wants to speak to that seals manager.
People legitimately think that the entire world is some kind of an amusement park where they can do whatever they want for a picture.
Loose Seal
I’m not afraid of Lucille any longer!!
that's a fur seal btw, for all the commenters wondering
The wild seal is doing the better job of parenting the kid than the actual parent
What idiot parents. Seriously, you're just going to stand their filming this?
Parents probably told her to sit on the animal. I bet they have a YouTube and TikYok channel where they exploit their children for views.

A lot CGW…..girl lucky
It actually showed great restraint
This looks more like the parents told the Child to do this for some awesome pics. Why else would they already be filming and the father runs with his phone in his hand.
Or perhaps he was just wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane
Should have just let the thing take those genes out of the gene pool.
This kid need a real parent
That‘s what happens when you feed them disney
That kid is super lucky
It is still a wild animal. Bad parenting
The man says "guys it's ok" as if he is charging for people to take pictures with his pet. This is not the dad..this is a douche selling peddling his ""pet".
This is Hout Bay, South Africa and you are completely right, unfortunately. They charge people to take photos of the seals and to feed them fish.
gets my seal of aproval
If I've learned anything from my time on Reddit, I'm pretty sure that's a Sea Lion since it supports itself on it's flippers, except for the odd cases when a Seal looks like a Sea Lion, and vice versa.
People who should not be allowed to have kids.
Kid is lucky she didn’t get half her face ripped off.
Right? Seals have sharp teeth like dogs, only bigger! She really could have gotten hurt badly. The seal could have rolled over on her and smashed her to death. Stupid parents
[удалено]
I almost lost a finger to infection and the doctor was really hesitant about going more than 7 days on antibiotics. The longest was h pylori at 14 days and that fucked me up. Antibiotics are no ho.
I don't know if there's such a thing as a 6 month antibiotic regimen
My uninformed opinion is that there is almost no way you'll need antibiotics for 6 months. You either get rid of the bacterial infection before that or you switch to something broader/narrower or more powerful.
I think this might be a sea lion
Seal finger
Dad : audacity !!!
Okay sure let the child approach and touch a WILD ANIMAL MINDING ITS OWN BUSINESS, I’m sure it will be fine!
This is Hout Bay, South Africa just FYI, there are some fatties there all the tourists love to pose with.
he should have punched the sea lion, like how the guy punched a kangaroo to protect his dog
The dude probably isn't the dad just a local selling their "pets" for pictures.
He should have punched himself in his nuts for allowing his child to sit on a wild animal.
Someone should punch you
This guy dog looks weird TBH.
Yea lets abuse the animal that did nothing wrong
that dad is so useless. the way he daintily ran but didn't even put his body between the sea lion and his child. what a fuckin pile
stepdadreflexes
Watching too many "Flipper" re-runs on TV.
What the fuck is qrong with people!?
A lot.
My god she got lucky, not with the parents but yknow
Notice that the animal didn’t bite, like a well-behaved dog that was just a warning.
Are you dumb and have eye issues? Animals eat each other's young literally all the time
Fuggin HUH
That's the mentality the parents had...
He can’t reach its not out of respect.
Careful, freaking sea lions while adorable will take a chunk outta you.
Age of social media to even risk your kids sake for the liked and views
You win the Darwin Award 🥇
You have to die or become unable to have children to win a Darwin award.
Idk if they won, but they're nominated for sure
You see how stupid that guy is? Some woman said to herself "I want to have a baby with this man". Good luck little girl.
Yeah and I'm still single
The woman is likely holding the camera.
Lucky it wasn't a leopard seal, every one in this video would be bleeding out
I don't think all that many people take their young children diving in Antarctica.
Isn’t this the same place where two seals are fighting and the dude just jumps in the middle and makes them stop? I wonder if they are the same seals. They deserve names if they’re the same ones.
Are the parents fucking dumb?
Yes. Yes they are
It does Indeed seem that you are correct
Yep, we’re seeing video proof of it
The seal was like wtf is wrong with you you little fuck
That’s a sea lion.
If I am not mistaken but the seal was not completely wild. It waa fed by a fisherman for a long time and would pose for pictures with people for fish. So it makes sense that the girl didn't completely lose her face.
*sealion
If anything, that makes it more dangerous.
Bitch ain't no Disney princess...
Now that kid will fear animals. Obviously some animals are to be feared, especially wild animals. You will never know how they react. But yeah, way to almost get your kids face bitten off.
The seal’s reaction was actually pretty crazy given that it didn’t bite a chunk of flesh out of the girl and run. They need to watch some Ocean Conservation Namibia videos on YouTube.
Or....just have basic common fucking sense
What were the parents expecting to happen? What like the poor seal would just tolerate having a kid tossed on its back? Hell no honestly the amount of parents I see doing this shit is terrifying, these ones might need to be sealed… away if this ends being a recurring theme.
Definitely not a great deal.
They are VERY lucky that is a fur seal and not a sealion
What??’why is there a seal on the side walk?
Yearly driveway sealing
just doing some important seal business
Its car broke down.
Walking. Duh
Loose seal.
Stupid parents,what they think.
They don't.
I feel sorry for the seal and the little girl - she's got incredibly stupid parents.
The fact that this child still has her face attached is amazing
They bite??
That could have ended much worse if the animal wanted. I think it recognized stupid people.
Than they kill it right?
Why would they kill the animal that they approached in the first place? The seal did nothing wrong
What kind of deep fried stupid is this?
This tickled me thank you
Parentsarefuckingdumb
The worst part is that the parents would blame the animal for not allowing their kid to sit on them.
Dumb parents always run the same
Oh shit! “Wobble run” wtf wild animal? It’s just a little girl.
Ok this is the best WCGW I’ve actually seen. Bravo
Poor seal. People need to learn that their crotch goblin is not the center of the universe, and they are not allowed to do everything...
I think it might be a sea lion since he has ears and those flippers
Imagine what their domestic animals deal with
What horrible parents
TikTok challenge?
CPS has entered the chat
In my state they just take your kid and give it to a family that rapes them or kills them.

I feel like the seal was showing restraint
yea it was just threatening didn't attempt to bite
Humans like to downplay the intelligence of animals because of the way we treat them and eat them, but most animals are actually pretty smart and know how to read the room fairly well. That animal had no reason to hurt the kid. It just needed to show the parents that it was out of patience and it was very effective.
Life is not a Disney movie people
Never judge people by their clothes.
Slap the both the kid and the parents for being a dumbasses
The kid is like 4yrs old. This is all parents.
So anyone can take home a kid and do this crap but in order to get a dog they call like three references
I'm struggling to understand what you mean.
To be fair a dog wouldn't try and sit on a sea lion.
Some people should not be allowed to have kids.
The outfit on the father tells you everything you need to know about this story

Who are these fucking idiots?

What fucking idiots.
C’mon honey! F*** this pos! Let’s get a picture of you with a bison.
controlyourkids
subsifellfor
The fact that they are filming means they probably were controlling thier kids, sadly.
Feel bad for the kid to have such careless parents
[удалено]
You say that as if every generation haven't been dumb assholes sometimes, millennial generation [and the subsequent ones] just have it filmed more often
Lol what??
Parents 10 minutes later:
And if that seal or sea lion bit the child, they could be at serious risk. Google Seal Finger. It is serious and could mean amputation. Can you imagine a small child having to be treated for this?
Watch out for loose seal
The kid's named Ye after Kanye. How sweet.
That was best-case scenario, holy shit. That could have gone so bad.
What horrible people to put a little girl at risk like that. She could’ve been seriously disfigured or even killed. Not to mention the animal would’ve prob been put down just for trying to protect itself. Selfish adults.
Yeeeaaaah I would not fuck with fur seals and their big vampire teeth......
At least he was a polite boy or he would have killed the girl is a matter is seconds.
Seriously! It basically chills out as soon as she is off. Could have easily mauled the kid to bits.
For real. I cannot stress enough how dangerous seals can be, that girl is lucky he didn't latch his teeth into her neck. Boom, dead child. This girl is one of the luckiest children imaginable, and the parents deserve to be charged with reckless endagerment.
Yellow jacket man purse says enough
Someone call child services and this child taken away from them.'
Even the best parents sometimes looser their kids out of sight. I was almost run over by an angry goat because I was a stupid kid.
When you watched enough animal documentaries to know that, the sea lion could have easily ripped her face apart…
The sea lion knew it was a kid and kust warned the kid smart
Definitely a polite sea lion.
"It's just a big water dog! Go pet it honey." Domesticated family dogs have ripped apart children and killed people plenty of times too, Susan. You try to give a milk bone to a wild wolf at Yellowstone?
There has never been a single reliably documented case of a healthy wolf attacking a healthy adult human. Not a single one, ever. Sick and starving wolves have attacked humans, and wolves have attacked children or injured humans as easy prey, but humans are large and dangerous enough and wolves are smart enough to go in search of easier prey.
And if the animal had bitten her, then it would be put down and not the fucking parents
El padre del año
Bet the parents told her to do that thinking it was domestic
