WHY DO THEY FLOAT DOWN LIKE RHAT LMAOAOAOAOAO

they hold their breath for 5 minutes under water while they sleep and then their body naturally floats up to get more air, then sinks back down. its a safety feature for them, so they aren't exposed while asleep!

LOL IK!! I just think it’s funny that they’re all in sync!!!! Seals and marine biology are some of my biggest interests

I love that video sm they look silly

So many ppl complaining about the pool being empty or not having enrichment. Yeah! Bc they’ll get attached to humans and die when released!

YES!!!

They’re testing their freshness like eggs

Its so over We're so back Its so over We're so-

where...are...their platforms, seals are hyperactive at night to hunt and they need to rest as much as they can during the day to conserve their energy. In here they look like they were struggling, instead of relaxing they had to sleep 30 minutes before resurfacing to get air

They’re rescue seals so this isn’t a zoo!! They’re meant to be released soon and they do have stuff on land they could go on!!

I see, thanks for the information Was worried about these seals due to the fact that I see no platform that gives them the ability to beach themselves and relax

@tivent_1 The seals have the opportunity to rest outside. The camera has an underwater perspective. This is what it looks like from outside.

@tivent_1 thats a big ass relief there....

THIS IS A RESCUE FACILITY!! This is NOT from a zoo!! These seals are intended to be released SO there is little enrichment because they do not want them to get too attached to humans!! :)

some seal charities for those interested! Please support zeehondemcentrum on YouTube and other social media platforms! They have live streams of all their seal rehabilitation pools on YouTube which is where this clip is from! Their Twitter is @Zeehondencreche

THE ONE STACKING ON TOP OF THE OTHER IM FUCKING CRYINGA

The bounce is killing me bad

I wish seals did this maneuver, but maybe they are playing freeze tag and the water is it?

This is so fucked up no way the just shut off like that

For all the people that comment stuff like „that’s so sad“ and so on: it was already nicely explained by Isabella. This is a rescue facility. These are wild seals and we will release them back into the wild. We do not want them to get too used to humans. -> @Zeehondencreche

Because they’re nothing else for them to do in that enclosure

they’re meant to be released!! This is not a permanent home for them, this is a rescue facility which releases them!! If they have too much human contact, they can get too attached and die in the wild

LMAO THAT'S FUNNY, IT FLOATS DOWN? GOT THE WHOLE OFFICE LAUGHING

THEY FLOAT DOWN, FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN

They look like they need something else to do

!!

Horrifying, conservationists put carbon monoxide in seal enclosure💔💔💔

Am I the only one to find this extremely sad ??

!!!

Ok i didn’t see this information ! It’s less sad I guess lol

They’ll be able to thrive in the wild soon! This is the last phase for them to be in so they will be released soon! I recommend supporting zeehondemcentrum on YouTube because they have live streams of the seal rehabilitation phases :)!!

Thats great news 🙏🏽🩷 I Will Check them out thank you

i know that in the wild seals prefer to sleep underwater wedged into rocks/plants and take periodic breaks to go up to the surface, get some more air, and go under again to sleep a little longer. so this Might be what they're doing here but idk

ARE THOSE SEALS

YES!!!! I LOVE SEALS!!!!

THEY LOOK SO TINY I THOUGHT THEY WERE THOSE LITTLE AQUARIUM FISH

LOL ITS CAUSE THE CAMERA IS SO FAR BACK INTO THE WALL!! For it is only a trick or perspective…

why are they so stupid im crying😭😭

The rocks

@The_Airyl Eepy

They're names? Bobber, balast and floater

You'll float too

probably because they live in a big empty pool?

this facility is VERY good at what they do!! they’re one of the best seal rescues, they’re not a zoo!! :(

is drowning an issue for them?

Yep! Marine mammals, some can hold their breath for like 30 minutes but I don’t think these guys can

yeah i think the water level is pretty deep but it’s weird they don’t use the ladder to pull up

The comments that aren’t aware of what zeehonden is and does may be annoying, it’s a good sign that people care about animals living conditions!!

random ragdoll activation

Theyre like sinking pool toys

They look like Kikiam being boiled

hook, line, and sinker in their enclosure

"Float Down" You mean Sink? 😂

Lmao thank you for this im crying
