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

[@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.

This is proper english. He is saying two different examples. Another way of wording this would be “... prehistoric dinosaur.. or maybe a sabertooth cat.” Maybe goes before the new option while perhaps comes after, but they both have the same meaning. Another example “would you like some coffee?.. Tea perhaps?”

Also--genetics. Let's face it, their genetics are all geared to give them that smooth, round, blubbery juiciness. They also like fish fingers and would no doubt enjoy some human fingers if you start petting the babies. Mmmmm, human fingers! Snap! YUM!

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.
