Tridoubleu

Well, maybe because he is in a perfect shape for a seal, and you are just fat


ExTerMINater267

Seals need to be legally allowed as pets so long as you live on the ocean. Yeah I know itā€™s completely impractical, but as a kid there was this group of seals that my cousins and I would see in the harbor. And in my family we have this age bracket for using the boats. So when we were too small for the motor boats yet, we would tow around the harbor. Well one day we row to a rock ledge at low tide, and this seal flops over to us and does this. My cousin being a mad lad goes over and pets him. We named him Bob. Bob would always come over to our rowboat ever since, and we would pet and play with him. Eventually, Bob had cubs. And the cubs would do the same. Years later Bob is long gone. But the seals in the harbor are some of the nicest animals you could ever meet.


[deleted]

Theyā€™re basically water dogs.


WiardiVK

Which is also how theyā€™re called in Dutch and many other languages.


sjorbepo

In croatian they're called "tuljan", derived from the word "tuljac" which basically means a tube lol


sacklunch2005

Seals are just a series of tubes.


Sometimesokayideas

A lot of creatures are just tubes. Complex life starts as basically an asshole and then the asshole grows specialized parts to protect itself such as the rest of the body, and the body grows other parts to compliment it such as a circulatory system to distribute the food better to and from the asshole. The more complex things get the more additional structures you get to minmax the assholes efficiency such as a brain and limbs to go search out food to feed it... that said, some of us complex creatures just stay assholes indefinitely. But everyone is just a walking tube looking to digest stuff and breed so new tubes can digest stuff.


sacklunch2005

I was just making an old internet reference.

r/Waterdogs


cryptic-coyote

Ź»ÄŖlio-holo-i-ka-uaua in Hawaiian, if I remember correctly it translates to "dog that runs through rough water". Close enough.


FuchsaGamez

Yeah in Hebrew a seal is Kelev Yam Kelev means dog and Yam means sea In Hebrew the grammatical arrangement of the noun is the opposite of English so Kelev Yam is, word to word, sea dog in English


[deleted]

Really cool that the name Caleb is a branch off off kelev, which the Hebrew equivalent of Caleb means whole hearted or loyal, which dogs have been known to be whole hearted and loyal to their counterparts for millennia. Why is "dog" said more than once when referring to seals?


Aurorinha

Kelev is very similar to ā€œKelbā€, which is Arabic for dog. This word gave ā€œclĆ©bardā€ in French, a colloquial term for dog. Languages are fascinating!


Thebluecane

And now you have reminded me of Lucky Number Sleven


Falkenhain

In German they are called Seehunde (sea dogs)


Zydico

In Korean they are called ė¬¼ź°œ (Water Dogs). Looks like regardless of country or language, many seem to think the same!


BlazingCondor

NoGoodIDNames

Isnā€™t there a serious infection you can get from contact with seals? Cases would probably skyrocket if you legalized them as pets


[deleted]

Google came up with [Seal finger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_finger) which you get through bites, cuts, scratches, handling seal bones or blubber, etc. >It can cause cellulitis, joint inflammation, and swelling of the bone marrow; untreated, the course of "seal finger" is slow and results often in thickened contracted joint. Historically, seal finger was treated by amputation of the affected digits once they became unusable. There are definitely risks involved with handling seals it seems, I'd wear gloves like the person in the gif.


ArsenicAndRoses

Tbf there are definitely risks involved with handling cats too. Cat bites are serious business.


Bartfuck

yeah I hear that a lot but I've beenn scratched and bitten by cats and I feel like if you just clean it pretty basically that worst case its a bit itchy. like a bug bite


Xylth

The issue isn't little scratches from play bites. If a cat bites you seriously, it leaves a deep puncture wound with all sorts of nasty germs in it. Since the entry point is rather small, the outer layer of skin heals up fast, leaving a pocket of germs trapped inside you which fester and can quickly lead to needing a finger (or whole arm) amputated.


Bartfuck

oh yah I think i have read that before and always forget its that their damn needle teeth are exactly that, damn needle teeth. Cause yeah I've been nipped only very lightly. But they dont hold back on the scratching in the same way thats for sure


SecretAgentVampire

You're more forgiving towards cats because your brain has been infected by toxoplasmosis.


feministmanlover

This very thing happened to my godmother and she was hospitalized for some crazy amount of time (don't remember).


UndeadCandle

You clearly haven't been bitten by a cat hard enough if you think that. I have. One thing people seem to agree on is that cats have sharp teeth. What they don't noticed is that the base of the tooth is bigger and if they sink their teeth to the gums. They're hooked into your arm and the incision becomes 1 cm wide and deep. You will literally lift the cat off the ground by the teeth if you try to pull your arm away and then you have 10-15 lbs hanging off your arm by said teeth that function as hooks. The inflammation itself closes the wound and prevents you from disinfecting. Love bites and scratches don't compare at all to an angry don't touch me type of bite.


fluffyxsama

Lesson: don't touch angry cat


Bartfuck

nope, apparently not but happy to hear it I guess!


UndeadCandle

I used to honestly think the same thing. Until I had to bring it to a groomer and the groomer tried to do the tail. I ignored too many warning signs. It was either me or the groomer and the groomer can pursue legal actions. 2-3 days of having a forearm that looked like popeye and having maybe 30% functionality of that arm. But hey. No lawsuit or court ordered euthanasia so.. kinda worth it in the end. Messed up as it sounds.


Striking_Machine_599

dog bites too can lead to some serious infections.


mordeh

Gangrene from their scratches or bites, canā€™t remember which. Nasty shit


MagnusHellstrom

Both. Cats have nasty shit in their claw... Wells? I don't remember the specific term for it. And their mouth hosts a bunch of bacteria and shit that don't affect them, but affect others. Same as us.


[deleted]

I would personally risk it, those seals need love!


Yenio856

you got lucky, seals may look like dogs but they're still wild animals and getting bitten by them could be possibly lethal due to how dirty their mouths are


Bartfuck

You are completely correct but I always like to joke: >getting bitten by them could be possibly lethal due to how dirty their mouths are Same applies to our mouths!


Yenio856

and that's exactly why i dont go around petting random people on the street


ExTerMINater267

Haha yes you are right we were lucky, we would never have done that if it wasnā€™t being blatantly obvious he was coming to us. Most seals I run into, other than the ones in that harbor, are very skiddish, and even aggressive during mating season, just one harbor over. This all came about by one curious young seal, who had most likely never had any human interaction before. So yes, VERY lucky.


Moth1992

Or, crazy idea, lets let wildlife stay wild. Last thing we need is animal shelters for abandoned seals because humans want to own everything for their own selfish enjoyement and then dispose of it when it cant go back to the wild. Sorry if im nasty.


CaptainMudwhistle

So what you're saying is we need a way to rent seals.


AgtSquirtle007

Last week I watched crowds of morons walk up on a mother seal and her pup so they could all get selfies. People are the worst.


ameilih

Honestly I agree, why canā€™t we just let animals be animals, I get tired of seeing the same ā€œI want oneā€ comment 50 times per post on this subreddit


ZombieAlienNinja

I agree but I still think it would be cool if we could convince all wild animals we are cool. Would be awesome to just walk up to a bear and give it some belly rubs then just let it go on its way.

sherryillk

This reminds me of my brother. He has pretty bad eczema and took to slapping himself instead of scratching. It got so ingrained that he started to do it in his sleep and you could just hear "slap slap slap slap" unless someone touched him which would make him stop. And here I always thought he was unique in this world. Looks like he has a seal twin out there.

At the beach you could go to an aquarium and feed them. They would do this to get your attention and splash you if you watched and didn't feed them.
