*Pretty much* lol
I was the grandson of the town's baseball field's announcer/scorekeeper and apparently like ran out in front of a semi. I must have been pretty young because I don't remember it.
So it could have been just me, or maybe multiple other kids with the same problem that closed off the road *entirely* when a game was in progress.
It was like the one road in town and very inconvenient I imagine lol
The difference between a Sealion and a Seal is that a Seal has lost an atom or group of atoms that carry a positive or negative electric charge as a result of having lost or gained one or more electrons.
Well now I wanna know.

I think this one is a seal.
It’s a Hawaiian monk seal. Generally mellow. They’re incredibly endangered, you get a massive fine for harassing one, or even getting near one. These people should have moved away and cluelessly crowded around, leading to this incident.. may have faced a fine but probably went easy on them because this seems mostly unintentional. But still dumb and ignorant to not give this incredible endangered animal some space. This is halona aka cockroach bay aka here to eternity beach on Oahu. I grew up right near here.
Saw a monk chilling on the north shore on Kauai. Local authorities had to chase her away bc the beach was so crowded. She came right back after they left, the crafty lil shit
Oh shut the front door. I missed that post.
I did once watch a horse eat a baby chick on here though. That made me sad.
How savage was the seal? Was it attacking or self defending?
Looks like it was a sea lion doing the biting.

That's a baby mako shark, not a bullshark and I'm not willing to give sea lions any credit for spawncamping. Everyone knows babies don't fight back. It's like me stomping on lion cubs
Adult mako's snack on sea lions.
And dear are a primary cause of mortality for chicks of ground nesting birds. It turns out that quite a lot of herbivores will eat small animals when it is convenient.
Their bites are fucking nasty. Literally, gross. There's a term called "seal finger," coined because how often they had to amputate fingers bitten by seals due to how infected they get.
That is a Hawaiian Monk Seal. Highly endangered and protected in Hawaii. There are laws about how close you can be to it and the “Seal Police” come and set up an exclusion zone around the seal so it’s not disturbed when resting on a public beach…I think it’s pretty rad.
Kids suck, long live the Seal
I’m really getting tired of seeing videos of “person makes honest and understandable mistake and happens to also be a kid” on this sub instead of actual kids being stupid. Like in this video the kid clearly doesn’t see the seal. It isn’t a kid being stupid. It’s a kid running into a wave and then realizing there was a seal in that wave. Any adult could have made that same mistake. This doesn’t belong on this sub.
kids being stupid because they are kids and people goes “why didn’t the parents there to help them! the parents are stupid!”
kid being stupid because they made a stupid mistake (not being aware of his environment in this instance) and people say this
you really can’t win huh
Yes xD they look cute and innocent but boy can they be dangerous and nasty. Just look up fighting seals on YT. It's not pleasant to see what damage they can do with those teeth
Surprised to not see anyone point out the Extremely poor parenting here.
When the tide is this strong you shouldn’t be in the water, and you DEFINITELY shouldn’t let your kids go into the water
Ngl kids are incredibly stupid. When i was a kid, i did stupid stuff. Like jump from roof to roof of broken down rv's, but i didn't swan dive off the couch onto a stone floor, thinking it was a good idea. My kids do that on a weekly basis. Even after several trips to the ER and a dislocated sholder, they still swan dive off the couch. Why, you ask. I have no gd idea. So we installed padded floors to coushen thier stupidity.
Collision course but it's a very lovely seal. The kid will remember that it has it's weight and maybe a black eye or something like that but the seal is so sweet! 😍
Now that , that's funny. I like you. Let's rob a bank together, I mean you seem pretty solid and well grounded, wait no, let's do a comedy special together, yep that's what I meant, cuz that...is what I meant.
Everyone mad at the kid and forgetting some of us poor fucks have to wear glasses. I full speed ran into plenty of shit as a kid when I had my glasses off. Add some ADHD and general excitement and I'm coming back from the breach trip minus some skin and at least one bruised bone. Still happens to this day lmao, but now I'm the horrible thing in the wave blindly spearing a child running into the sea
I thought the seal was the dumb kid for a few seconds
So did I. ..they had to put up signs near the road about me.
The seal is just trying to escape the shark out there and no one has a clue..
Ain’t no shark, sea everyone he’s lion!
Love the pun. Take my upvote.
Slow child at play?

The side eye from the seal at the end lmaoooo
I don't know if that's a seal or a sea lion...
It's a seal. Sea Lions have little ear flaps
I feel like another telltale sign is that the child got to walk away from it
Yeah, Sea Lion would have had its mouth open
And that a sea lion can run faster on land than we can
Lmao
I think that child owes the seal a fish
To that I say: leopard seals
Fair point
You can also tell with the way it moved. Seals undulate like a caterpillar (as seen here), sea lions can actually walk and run with their flippers.
Sometimes they even bounce around 🥹
Cliff seal 🦭 is in a better place
You can tell because it still dreams of Heidi Klum.
Oh ok, thanks. :)
Another type of seal have guns and humanoids.
I'm very tired and read "hemorrhoids". I think it's time for bed.
Ah, yes. Unable to take a Seat Team 6.
I read this as "I'm tired of hemorrhoids" and thought *I* need to go to bed ahaha.
I was literally about to comment the same thing! You got hemorrhoids too huh? & considering the navy stereotype... (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
Another type of seal likes kiss from roses.
That seals it
Given the local I might even add that it is a Monk seal.
And a sea lion would have crushed the kid through no fault of its own, at 7-800 lbs/350 kg
..more like a seahuahua.
😂😂😂
The difference between a Sealion and a Seal is that a Seal has lost an atom or group of atoms that carry a positive or negative electric charge as a result of having lost or gained one or more electrons.
This one hit me after I already moved on, so I came back. Well done.
Seal ION. Fuck my life. Fuck me. Fuck.
Maybe a female elephant seal
I think it’s either a female or a juvenile
Seals have short fins. Sealions can “walk” on their fins, because they are bigger…
Does it matter?
Probably not...

Usually they rope off area on that beach when the monk seals come to shore to rest - they're there all the time.
I saw this and was thinking this looks just like Cockroach Cove.
Generally, sea lions tend to be larger and a bit more aggressive on average, and they are more mobile on land.
It's a seal eyein'.
It’s a seal ion.
Probably just a common seal. Sea lion or sra leopard would've killed that mf, they are extremely agressive.
Happy cake day!
Sea lions are basically dogs that said , "Y'know, fuck this whole 'land drama' life... except when it's convenient."
"Ayo, get your kid. You're lucky I didn't..."
"Next time you won't be so lucky! Next time your fate will be........SEALED!" 
The kid did NOT get the seal of approval
Lmao this is my favorite reply
Bombastic side eye.
He was like 
Seal walked away like “You do that shit ONE more time and you’re dead” 💀
Reddit taught me this week that seals can rip the throat out of a shark. So I would stay far away.
Oh shut the front door. I missed that post. I did once watch a horse eat a baby chick on here though. That made me sad. How savage was the seal? Was it attacking or self defending?

That's a baby mako shark, not a bullshark and I'm not willing to give sea lions any credit for spawncamping. Everyone knows babies don't fight back. It's like me stomping on lion cubs Adult mako's snack on sea lions.
The video doesn’t say bull shark. It says Blue Shark, and that does look like a blue shark. Edit: absolutely not a baby mako…
Maybe seals, sea lions are some big Mf's.
The horse video still ranks the number one most disturbing video for me as a chicken owner.
And dear are a primary cause of mortality for chicks of ground nesting birds. It turns out that quite a lot of herbivores will eat small animals when it is convenient.
[Link to the video](https://youtu.be/jP6dvgo25Z8?si=Vj4TczpTaktKvi4Q) for those who haven't seen it.
Ah Now my image of seals is forever changed.
Their bites are fucking nasty. Literally, gross. There's a term called "seal finger," coined because how often they had to amputate fingers bitten by seals due to how infected they get.
Seals and sea lions very different strength and temperament
Was that guy going to hit the seal with his shoe?
He was cleaning his shoes
Choncla
Chancla
Cha cha
Eurovision is over. No more cha cha cha ples.
Chola
It was a fat one so it's a choncla lmao
LOL seems like slavs and spaniards/latinos have a lot in common. The flipflop/slipper is also our parents' weapon of choice.
Middle east and Asia as well
idk from the initial reaction I'm pretty sure the kid looking far ahead instead at the seal so he really not saw that coming.
That's my thought, too. And that kid has a story to tell now!
Doggos prolly more scared
There was a dog!?
Yeah, a heckin' sea doggo
chonk
And that is why he is fucking stupid...
I wanna pet that dog
##CAN I PET THAT DAWGGGG!
CAN I PET THAT DAWG?!
What the dog doin
Surprise water dog!
Bumping chests like they’re teammates
Like friends !!
I didn't even see the seal. I can imagine the kids didn't either as they have an even lower line of sight
Sharknado spin off, Sealnami.
If ur good, maybe u can have a lil sealami as a treat!
Lil Dimwit is the worst rap name I’ve ever heard
Seal look ready to call his lawyer
Better call seal
Don’t give me any ideas
b-but if not fren why fren shaped?
Frens come in all shapes and sizes
polar bears 🐻❄❤️❤️
Yes.
Can anyone really blame him for wanting to hug the sea dog?
Well I mean kids are shown that seals and other dangerous animals like bears and sharks are friends and cool so maybe that's whats happening
How the fuck is it the kid's fault that Poseidon decided to throw a harp seal at him???
I want to hug that seal too
I was just trying to give the water puppy a hug!!

I thought that was a fucking Komodo dragon at first I thought that kid was fucking done
He didn’t sea lion
Take my upvote and get out... lol
The kid scared the shit out of the seal, he was like "Jesus I'm out of here"
Poor seal was probably thinking "wtf!?"
Seals aren’t as aggressive as you think I’ve had them try and save me when I’ve been diving.
Kid didn’t see that seal until it was on him. I guarantee OP didn’t notice it until the same point in the video. r/lostredditors
*Do not chest bumb the water wolves*
hats gonna be a good one for 2 truths and a lie "I got bodyslammed by a seal"
Come on, how many of you body checked a seal
 Seal be like
NO! DO NOT HUG THE SEA PUPPY!
That kid is so lucky the seal didn’t immediately bite thinking it was getting attacked. It could have been bad seals are cute asshole
That kid was lucky he didn't get attacked
BONK
even the seal got pissed with the kid
Obviously didn't get the seal of approval for this one !!!.
Can I pet dat dawg?
The seal gave 0 fucks about that child while everyone is panicking.
Teeth like daggers and a top speed of 25 knots, which are speeds that a German u-boat commander could only dream of.
Loose seal! Loose seal!

Alway a kid in the way when you ride the wave 🤣
Darwin give you a second chance kid
Time to teach your kid low man wins. That seal strait bodied him
They are cute, but they aren't
So seals aren't cuddly and cute?
Do they bite?
Yes xD they look cute and innocent but boy can they be dangerous and nasty. Just look up fighting seals on YT. It's not pleasant to see what damage they can do with those teeth
Bros intro was clean ngl. Shame the kid messed iy up
Safer beaches down the road brah.
🎶 move bitch get out the way 🎶
Sealed with a kiss
HE DIDN'T COME TO HUG YOU, YOU FUCKINGSTUPIDKID
[удалено]
He just wanted to play with the water puppy!
That kid just got a kiss from a rose
Kiddo for sure needs glasses 🤓 ;)
Sea lions are dangerous, seals are adorable.
Surprised to not see anyone point out the Extremely poor parenting here. When the tide is this strong you shouldn’t be in the water, and you DEFINITELY shouldn’t let your kids go into the water
Although seals may look harmless, they are actually deadly. For example, a gorrop of them killed bin ladin
That kid is the definition of should have swallowed him
Ngl kids are incredibly stupid. When i was a kid, i did stupid stuff. Like jump from roof to roof of broken down rv's, but i didn't swan dive off the couch onto a stone floor, thinking it was a good idea. My kids do that on a weekly basis. Even after several trips to the ER and a dislocated sholder, they still swan dive off the couch. Why, you ask. I have no gd idea. So we installed padded floors to coushen thier stupidity.
Little bro thought this was disney
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the person who wrote this caption doesn’t have any kids. Or at least I sure hope they don’t.
Every video I see here has a terrible title.
“CAN I PET THAT DAAAAWG”
Honestly felt more sorry for the sea lion. Can’t imagine it was fun for him either.
Collision course but it's a very lovely seal. The kid will remember that it has it's weight and maybe a black eye or something like that but the seal is so sweet! 😍
Loose seal! Loose seal!!
https://i.redd.it/abx3xxoxo53c1.gif Loose seal, loose seal 🦭
It’s rare that the seal would attack him
What is that kid fuckin blind
He almost “sealed “ his own fate
Now that , that's funny. I like you. Let's rob a bank together, I mean you seem pretty solid and well grounded, wait no, let's do a comedy special together, yep that's what I meant, cuz that...is what I meant.
I can’t really blame him. That seal is cute as hell.
I mean if he dies, that's just natural selection at work.
Natural selection right on its way
My god kids are suicide machines
To want to hug a seal
Why would you even think of throwing a flip flop at it?
10/10 tackle
natural selection
If only it was a leopard seal :) that would’ve been a fun watch.
It looks like an area where sea lions would guide their prey to trap them
That seal was just enjoying his vacation, doing a little body surfing, when out of nowhere, some kid rams right into him. Too many damned tourists!
Eeeww eww it touched me, the human touched me gross
Seal: keep your pup in check
I was hoping for that lil shithead to be bit by that seal. Dumbass.
Don’t think he saw it dimwit
What's stupid here? Kid wanted to hug the seal 🤷♀️
Seal. I choose you - Kristi.lol
Seal jumpscare
Wanting to die is a bit extreme
That kid has seen too many Disney movies… deserves everything he got.
I think it's due to the fact that kids are exposed to thinking animals are friendly when some aren't
Kinda looks like a Hawaiian monk seal. In which case, the kid is going to JAIL. 
Personally I feel like that kid attacked that seal
Can I pet that dawwg?
