The Arctic — icy, vast, forbidding. In these frigid depths, warm-blooded creatures face the cold realities of survival. Tonight, on Extreme Ocean Quest, we’ll explore this harsh, unyielding… (Um, pardon me, I’m trying to introduce the show here…)

Sealios always seem so happy in the pics I see them in. Even this guy just wants to get in the picture! C’mon over, mister (miss?) sealio! I’ll take your pic and give you a hug!
Looks to me like one of those kids who stand behind a TV news reporter saying “Hi Mom”. Great photobomb!
Kids are OK. It’s when it’s great big jackasses that I wish once, just once, the reporter would turn around, haul off, and paste one right in the chops.
phocabomb!
(bows in homage)
Wow!
I’ve never seen a seal look so much like a dog!
i thought it was a dog. i still think it might be a dog with extravagent whiskers…
I agree–That’s no seal. It’s a Lab going for a swim. I’m sure of it.
definitely a seadog.
He looks more like a dog than either of my dogs.
And what do you dogs look like then
Cats?
Pinnipeds and canines have some common ancestry, I believe.
Seal eyebrow dots! Does he not look like a lab or lab+Weimer?
Yesh….. he looks exactly like my Lab….. it’s positively weird!!!……
(‘Cept my goggie has ears and is yellow…!!
“It doesn’t do them any good, you know, sitting on them. Takes all the life out of them. Remember that another time, all of you. A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”
Eeyore for the win! (insert bowing emoticon here)
Darn scene sealer…
Dr. Mustard, did he escape from my game of Clue?
*Yes I know it was Col. Mustard.
Excellent hovertext, NTMTOM. Excellent.
I read the hovertext in the voice of Milton, from “Office Space”
Me too!!
I almost added “… and I believe you have my stapler” to the hovertext. For reasons I forget now, I didn’t, but yeah, I was definitely channeling Milton there.
Is seal also going to ask diver if he has the cover to his TPS report? ..or is it the QTE report?
[heart] the front flipperererere (or is that a paw) on the human bean’s shoulder.
And the raised “O HAI” flipper.
hmmm. I started reading it as the seal was hosting the show and the diver photobombed it.
(hovertext spoils that illusion, tho)
That was my thought too!
Yes, the seal was diver-ted from his report.
*applause*
Mine too!….but then I did giggle after reading the hovertext. Ahhh Office space
Nice one NOMTOM.
[...in best David Attenborough voice...] The arctic seal, while normally quite shy and timid, cannot resist the camera lens. In fact, my spidey-senses are telling me there is one over my right shoulder even as we record this.
The first thing that jumped into my head before I read the hovertest was:
Pardon me. Do you have any Grey Poupon?
Gigi, my next door neighbors are now wondering what is so funny over here.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Absolutely hilarious, Mike!
Hey, Mister! Whatchadoin? What’s that thing there? Can I help? Wanna play? Play!
“Umm, excuse me, but is that a Kodak or Nikon? And could you forward this picture to me? Thanks!”
Well, yes. Everyone knows that seals are just dog mermaids.
“The Arctic — icy, vast, forbidding.” I kind of heard that like
“Everest— forbidding, aloof, terrifying.”
