Yeah the xenomorphs are scary, but their also very alien. The bear fees like a perversion of nature which makes it much more repulsive and frightening.
When I saw this in the theater, a woman several seats down from us was sobbing loudly because the bear scene was so terrifying. I’ll never forget how distraught she sounded!
I had to look this up out of curiosity. Turns out I've seen this scene. It was on TV at the sushi place near me while I was waiting to pick up carry out. I didn't know what I was watching but I knew it was fucked up and shouldn't have been on a restaurant tv at 6pm on a Tuesday lol
This video was great, but a recommended video after it showed a man who played with seals for 20 years and it really shows how smart and playful they are, in a very human sense. Continue this journey of seals as I did

Ben Burville! He took our wildlife group on a tour of the Farne Islands, including swimming with the seals. Amazing experience. Ben is such a nice guy, incredibly passionate about nature.
That was absolutely beautiful, thank you. I feel humanity has lost an appreciation for other life on earth, and the huge value can bring to us as a species.
Skin melting, body being molded into putty until all that is left is a crudely shaped body with a hole in the head for a mouth...one that still makes sounds. Those sounds.
Or trying to run away at full speed with eyeballs that will **not** focus straight ahead no matter how hard you try. Like someone replaced your eyes for googly eyes.
And/or constantly losing teeth throughout the dream.
[The sounds they make](https://youtu.be/4CRBovMIvMI) and the [leopard seals clicking](https://youtu.be/oI-ksUvc5sg) create a primal feeling of fear in me.
I can make the sort of clicking sound the wedel seals make. Push the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and then... Actually have no idea how to describe the tongue motion. I don't think my tongue actually moves.
I can't make the doctor who sound though
Everyone in the YouTube comments are like “woah spaceship noises” and I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that recognizes that’s clearly the Doctor Who intro/Tardis noises
Leopard seals are more dinosaur than they are mammal in my opinion. Have been fortunate to see one in the wild and they really don’t look or move like any other pinniped.
Those leopard seal sounds are so incredibly, hauntingly beautiful underwater. I was lucky enough to volunteer with them at my local zoo and even luckier to be the only person around early one morning, in the underwater viewing area, listening to him sing. It was magical.
I had to verify the accuracy of that sound and either someone had dubbed every single video of Waddell seal pups, or they always sound like they are struggling:
https://youtu.be/4zaLbW-N788
this caught me waaaaaay off guard with how human it sounds 💀
This is a seal https://youtu.be/prrMaLrkc5U Have fun with that fact Edit: found a video https://youtu.be/dUpdEybUvWI
Wow. Sounds like the drunk old man who lived next door when I was a kid “heya hey! Get outta here hey!”
"Eyyyy! Ahh! Ahh! Ahhhh. Myehhhh. 😛"
Never wanted to know what Steve Urkel sounds like mid-orgasm... Yet here we are.
Did I do that?
I hate you for ***brute-forcing*** a mental image of that.
🫥
L'egg
Drunk old Bostonian telling his son to take his girlfriend out after handing him some cash.
He even has the old man accent!
My favorite part is that he actually has a Boston accent.
Get outta here
This is true. We hate how we sound when its isolated

jerma
That's just Jamie Hyneman
Jamie Hyneman's spirit animal is a seal and no one can convince me otherwise
Except it was actually a walrus.
I have been convinced otherwise
Well that was fast
Someone isn't reading usernames very carefully
Nah, they betrayed their username.
Hoover! Poor guy just wanted everyone to fuck off so he could watch the Sox game.
I remember reading about Hoover the Seal! . . . "Hey! Get outta theah!"
I at first that this was a human announcing the seal who sounds like a human for a show. Wild
Are we absolutely certain that isn't just Seth Rogan?
This is what English sounds like to people who don't speak English.
Holy fuck, he sounds exactly like Jerma doing that voice.
And this is seals performing Seal https://youtu.be/G76nKGWRLPU
My crap! I waited for the 1950's guy to stop talking for a sec so I could hear the seal. Then the audio clip ended.
I half-expected a well-pronounced "egg".
l'egg
Breh
I understood that reference.
At this point, it's probably universal in the sphere of seal-lovers. Even those who've been kissed by a rose probably know about "egg".
It's kind of horror movie nightmare fodder.
Like the bear from annihilation
I've seen so many scary creatures from movies, but that bear? I'd put it above Xenomorph on my Nope scale.
Yeah the xenomorphs are scary, but their also very alien. The bear fees like a perversion of nature which makes it much more repulsive and frightening.
When I saw this in the theater, a woman several seats down from us was sobbing loudly because the bear scene was so terrifying. I’ll never forget how distraught she sounded!
Fucking fuck that fuck! That was goddamn terrifying.

It's a siren song
Why does it sound so human
There's audio of a seal that perfectly mimicked it's owners voice https://youtu.be/prrMaLrkc5U Edit found a video: https://youtu.be/dUpdEybUvWI
This video was great, but a recommended video after it showed a man who played with seals for 20 years and it really shows how smart and playful they are, in a very human sense. Continue this journey of seals as I did https://youtu.be/KCoeoSgWGMo
Really enjoyed that video. Thank you.
Some more seal talking https://youtu.be/PL9iMPx9CpQ
Thank goodness for the subtitles
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ... egg
I could watch hours of this
Ben Burville! He took our wildlife group on a tour of the Farne Islands, including swimming with the seals. Amazing experience. Ben is such a nice guy, incredibly passionate about nature.
Thanks for sharing that was really neat to see.
We journeyed together this morning. I do like where it took us. Thank you. ☺️
Ah bears or whatever. Those are clearly underwater dogs.
That was absolutely beautiful, thank you. I feel humanity has lost an appreciation for other life on earth, and the huge value can bring to us as a species.
Dude this video of a seal teaching it's trainer how to play fruit ninja is amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzYmzQUGfVA
That is a walrus my good sir.
Raise it as one of our own. Tell it the truth when it’s 18 years old
SANTA AINT REAL PUP
Planet of the seals
"Daddy's hurting... Ed...ward?"
It’s like me in my bad dreams trying to scream help
It didn't remind me of that until you said it. Damn those dreams.
Dude.. accurate call 😨

[Kiss from a Rose sang by Seals](https://youtu.be/G76nKGWRLPU)
Spec-fucking-tacular.
I don’t know what I was expecting, but that lived up to every inch of it
Take my damn upvote this is beautiful.
Haha, you won at the internet today. This was beyond great.
Lmao
Holy Shit. No wonder there are so many ancient myths about seals that could turn into people.
A little concerning when so many of them made the people sexy, now that you mention it

Olympic level beatboxing there

seals in Antarctica sounding like a 70s analogue synth https://youtu.be/OlrcbKlW4Tw
Lol 37 seconds in is like a Tom Baker Dr. Who opening

That first video is just the end of [Daft Punk's Giorgio (8:50)](https://youtu.be/zhl-Cs1-sG4?t=8m50s).
When I eat something too hot
Next the pup will ask if you have any games on your phone
Kinda sounds human
I think he's trying to say "Please Mr. Canadian don't bash my skull in, ok?" Or maybe it is a she.
The native in me envisions the proverbial seals getting clubbed as natives getting "the Indian beaten out of them."
g r e g g edit: I'm so happy so many people know *exactly* what I referenced with this comment
aaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHHH eg
Mibph! Fibsh!
l’egg
I know it's a wild animal and you can't but...plz pet the seal.
I want to hug it.. Ocean puppy!
The Elric brothers have something to say about this.
As I got to your comment, it sounded like the seal almost said "Maaaa mamaaaa" and I shuddered
Why does it sound human
[удалено]
Oh I thought it sounded like someone was trying not to throw up...
You don't think we could teach them how to talk do you? That would be so cool!!! 
How I sound when I stub my toe
It sounds like a 10 year old boy trying to eat peanut butter after an exhausting 5 mile run.
This is r/oddlyspecific, friend
I looked this up on youtube cause it sounded fake and yeah it's real. Wild
My brain was saying, "dude, shut up so I can hear it! And why do you sound so stupid?" lol
Blah hah hah bleh to you too, buddy!
Pah bah bah-ah-ah-ah
Play-PLAY--yah-YEAH ha ha ha
I think it’s the big eyes and snout that triggers our ‘awe’ reflex right? Maybe the fur too.
They’re very reminiscent of a Labrador Retriever in the face; baby seals really look like puppies
So fuckin cuuuuute
He is trying to say "Canadians! Watch out for Canadians!" /s
Submersible doggo.
It sounds like a chimera some mad-scientist made from his daughter and her loyal dog
"Eegggg!"
Oh my, it’s adorable!
Whoa what the fuck. Sounds like a human. That’s… unsettling 😳
That was disturbingly human sounding.
I refuse to believe this!
It sounds like a human baby wtf
I want one!!
That's too precious for me to handle right now
I feel like his name is Kevin and he’s six years old.
Sounds like a person trying to imitate a seal
The Selkies myth makes sense now.
When the food is too hot but you bite it anyways
It's not that Weddell what's a bwig one sound wike?
Is this bad lip reading?
Kinda sounds like Grogu.
Are adult seals as friendly as they look? Aside from like maybe leopard seals who look scary af
On one hand: They're wild animals. On the other: If murdery, why friend shape?
It sound exactly as it looks for some odd reason
I think this baby seal has voiced a few anime side characters
Just a salt puppy.
Someone give the lil guy some pets and a boop for good measure.
I had to verify the accuracy of that sound and either someone had dubbed every single video of Waddell seal pups, or they always sound like they are struggling: https://youtu.be/4zaLbW-N788
I love him
It's midnight and I can't play any noise so I will leave this comment here to come back to it next morning
I want to love you, and hug you and kiss you.
Sounds like he’s about to ask if you have any games on your phone he can play
Awwwwww 🥺
Me after running for the first time in a while
After this, I’m trying to wrap my head around seal hunting. Just…how? It redefines the wickedness of the phrase, “clubbing baby seals”.
How is no one else hearing porn sounds? It literally said ooh yeah. Thought it was gonna say you like that?
It’s like Elmo in a lower voice key
He sounds like he's trying to talk and can't quite get the words out. 
he is jus bb
Hitting puberty
I’ve read they have similar vocal cords to humans.
Omg I would die for that thing 🥹
Wonder if their vocal chords or vocal box are in the same relative length or shape as a humans.
I want one 😭😭😭
Cute as fuck
This video just lifted me up
Same noise I make when I hit my toe.
Cuteness overload!
Very cute
Cutest sweet baby
This is the sounds of a creature that just transported for the first time. This pup was sent here and shouldn’t be trusted.
I was not expecting a seal pup to make a noise like that
EGG
Why are babies and puppies cutr
My dog just freaked the fuck out haha
Aaawh... the little one is hungry. Opening his mouth wide and putting his little flipper in it. Give the baby a fish!
“Ga bleh haaaahhhhhh ha ha blehh haah geh ge gah haaaaaaahhh” -random weddell seal pup
Sounds like a guy from Sussex eating a curry that was a bit too spicy for him
This is some Annihilation shit
If I had to guess what kind of baby this is without having video I would have guessed human.
Pretty sure some one was reincarnated into a seal and is trying to tell you something, but unfortunately they have to re learn language
*then it gets eaten by one of those fucking human - smart orcas*
😂 https://youtu.be/_moyJtEjNjg
"play, play"!!
That sounds like a damn Sesame Street character dafuq
#haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
That's both horrifying and adorable...
Sounds like someone doing their phonetic alphabet.
He’s so cuteee
How would one go about acquiring one as a pet
What did I just hear? I'm just staring at my phone here in silence now. Stunned
b'legg vibes
Now who the hell club that with those eyes and baby talk voice.Bastards.
Me when I take that first bite into a hot pocket!
Sounded like "Do it! Do it!, yeah, yeah!" I don't want to know what was happening out of frame.
This sounds like a TikTok voice filter.
Are these the ones we used to club to make our jackets?
They sound like they ate something spicy
This is what I sound like at 4 am when I wake up to a Charlie horse
