Talk about a fish out of water. I think not speaking penguin is the least of your concerns, if Marlin or his henchman find you, you just might be sleeping with the fishes tonight.

You’ve gotta wonder what Ms Seal is thinking. “These things are warm. I love it here.”? “Ugh, I was here first”? “Hey good lookin, come here often”?

Side note: my understanding is that sea lions have external ears, seals don’t. I think our friend here is a female elephant seal. I’m not an expert, though.

  Penguin as a second language?

    Exactly!

This seal is like I was on my first day at school as a beginner teacher.
Omg these kids look all alike, which was my class again? 🙂

  Identical octillionuplets?

    Exactly 🙂
    Thankfully they wore their uniforms only on the first day for the school year opening ceremony, so it was easier afterwards.
