If anyone wants to know about the seal attacking the car it’s name was Homer and it was a juvenile male that hung out in the New Zealand harbour city Gisborne in the early ‘90s. He hung out in the harbour for a couple weeks before moving on to less populated regions. He banged the cars thinking they were competitors

[@wannabikkit]

I thought that was a New Zealand number plate. Didn't know we got seals that big!

[@Serpillard]

He was trying to bang his competitors? A very confused gaylephant seal then.

[@KaotikBOOO]

The head of a polar bear seems thinner than a grizzly bear though But anyway, yup the polar bear isn't considered a land predator, it's a marine predator Not that it can't hunt on land at all, but they usually don't because their main prey are fatty animals (especially seals) that they hunt on drifting ice in winter and they pretty much spend the summer starving Note that even though it's shorter, the grizzly bear is the most likely winner in case they were to meet, polar bears are way better hunters due mainly to their nose but the grizzly bear is way more muscular

Dude. My mother was a docent at the elephant seal park in San Simeon, California. People are not allowed to get on the beach with them. Despite their enormous size, they are extremely fast on land (can out run you) and the males are brutal, especially in mating season. Two children were mauled to death before that part of the coast was sanctioned off for the seals. I hope this doesn’t set a precedence for others to walk on the beach with them.

I live in a harbor in NorCal. I’m a transplant from Minnesota. Found this seal yesterday by my mailbox on the boat launch. It looked like a baby with these huge eyes but was a massive being. Since it was on the launch my wife called a local biologist and we were told it’s a young shedding elephant seal. Very cool. It was seeming kinda sick. Turns out, she was basically on the period and was ichy as hell. Just hung up a sign saying... “Hey! I’m a sea elephant that’s shedding. Leave me alone.” She was gone by morning. Very strange creatures. Very cool.

The Elephant Seal smashing the cars was named Humphrey, my mother said she had witnessed tourists trying to take photos with him as he ventured into Tauranga Harbour and he almost squished them as he rolled onto his side to stretch. He became quite popular within the Bay, separated from his harem, he frequented gully's, streams or creeks and at one point made his way onto a dairy farm where he would stalk cows and attempt to court them or size them out. He now has a sculpture in KatiKati in his commemoration.

From domestic violence, workplace sexual harassment, bias in various institutions, everyone takes their turn facing it (alas). But what prompts you to say that from this video? That we see men near the vehicles thar get slammed by the elephant seal males? As for the rape/infanticide comment, that is not a he said /she said, it's all documented. You can find videos here, no doubt, of males crushing the baby seals and raping the females. Not every male does that, of course. It tends to be younger males that cannot earn their own harem yet (yes, that's what they call it, bleh >
