Hindsight is 20/20

It was the first and last time Irving would agree to give Marge a piggy-back ride.

Good Nat Geo find, Marilyn T.

    Marge’s snuffler is bigger than Irving’s face! So funny!

  2. earlybird1 says:

    If this is an attempt at mating, it’s a hilarious one! XD

  3. earlybird1 says:

    OK, scratch that last comment. It is NOT mating, it’s a male with his pup. Eccchhh. (trying to erase last comment with pencil eraser)

  4. Ah…..my back!!!!

    @ earlybird1

    I was going to ask why there wasn’t an “interspecies snorgling” tag on this post, but you cleared it up for me.

    Just in time for the Winter Olympics, the Chilean 2-man bobsled team shows its true grit. They’re a shore thing for a medal.

    Extreme bulldog puppy close up! This is another live puppy video and right now they have the camera on one sleeping puppy. ADORABLE! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pelto-bulldogges–puppy-cam

    Maaaa!!! He’s touching me again!!!!

  17. Katrina says:

    Ow!

  18. Diane says:

    That would acually be Marge giving Irving the piggyback ride. The female of the species is the one with the regular snoozzz!!!

  19. I was thinking Marge has the snout of a man. I appreciate the video a lot, because I’ve always kind of wanted to go touch the the elephant seals while they’re sleeping. The video reinforces my thought that it wouldn’t really be a good idea.

    Well Junior, when a Mummy and Daddy Blorper love each other very much and want to make a baby blorp, they kinda get in this position. Strewth Dad I think I get the idea, now could you get offa me.

    “What am I goinbg to do Buffy? Irving wanted ANOTHER piggy back ride last night.”

  22. bookmonstercats says:

    I keep looking at Katiedid’s elephant seal vid. If it had just flicked it’s hidquarters……who in their right mind……….. *shakes head and looks disapprovingly over to of glasses* Hilarious though.

  23. bookmonstercats says:

    “Hindquarters” for heaven’s sake.

  24. bookmonstercats says:

    .. and “top” of glasses.

    Time to go home, bookmonstercats.

  25. Boo-urns says:

    Don’t forget this video of an elephant seal having some fun with parked cars.

    He looks so cuddly and contented at the end!

  26. Daniel says:

    As some already pointed out, the big one with the trunk is male. The little (and soon flat one) is female. And its propably and intraspecies snorgling…

  31. Rose says:

    OMG! Bulldog pups! *dies*

    hahaha – Teeny, I love Monty python.

    Elephant seals are adorable.

  32. Robin says:

    INTERSPECIES SNORGLE!

    [Except, they're both of the same species. - Ed.]

  33. suzelah says:

    They are the same species! They are both elephant seals. The larger one is male, the smaller one is female.

    Elephant seals are one of only two animals I file under “Not Cute” (the other being proboscis monkeys) but I have to admit this picture is, indeed, cute.
