Yeah, so what is that?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Those are seals.

Now, do seals creep you out or only when they make human-like noises?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

Yeah.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

Well, the good news is not many do that.

The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

There was that one seal who could talk like a... sound like a guy driving a fire truck back in the 1930s.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1089 - May 23 2026

Seals sound like people.
