I hope that for as long as I live that I’m interested in animals.  When I was a little kid I used to love watching Marty Stouffer’s Wild America.  Remember how badass that guy used to be?  His voice was so soothing and his rustic beard always made you believe that this guy had some serious experiences under his belt.

And I gotta say that in recent years I’m less interested in seeing animals in zoos being confined to a certain environment.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not all PETA or anything (I love eating steak and don’t care that cows are killed in order for me to do so).  It’s just that sometimes I want to see these things in the wild.

However, I will say this.  The one cool thing about zoos is human interaction and pet tricks.  Clearly the animals don’t learn this stuff on the north pole.  That’s why seals are awesome.  They do some pretty cool tricks.  And this seal?  A.  He’s HUGE and B.  This guy must be having so much fun.

Check out the coolest seal of all time.

I just want to thank mmoabc for finding these pictures
