Small oversight: If the creature in question has visible ears, no fur, darker skin and a fairly wide range of vocalizations, you may also be faced with Seal, a British musician in his late 50s. Otherwise good video!

Man, when you got to the "misidentification" section, I thought for sure I was about to get put on blast for referring to fur seals as sea lions. Super good video! Personally, I feel the term "sea lion" is a missed opportunity. "Sea bear" is more accurate, both in terms of genetics and appearance.

I was lucky enough to see a Hawaiian Monk Seal on a black sand beach a couple of weeks ago! The characteristics I used to identify that it was a seal was the large warning sign that said do not bother the seals that like to lay on this black sand beach. But now I have other ways next time in Hawaii like by being in Hawaii! I'm back home in Kansas now so I can't wait to put this information to use.

I was disappointed but not surprised that you have not posted more. It's like it's so much work and so perfect you're afraid you can't make a sequel. But if you did, this is the kind of content that ALL KZitem creators should be rewarded. Hopefully you've been snapped up by an edutainment content provider network. But if not, maybe form a patreon - you'd have followers.

I just almost rewatched the video because I forgot how funny it was at the beginning (it was still amusing at the end, but by then, I genuinely cared more about the seals and the info, and wasn't paying attention to the chuckles). Amazing video!! I've recently been fed videos on IG about Baikal seals, and that is insanely fascinating. If you think you have to match the energy of this video, no worries. I bet the stuff that you think is an F minus is probably at least a B plus to everyone who loved this video, and an A plus to a huge subset of the fans. Hope you're doing well!

In French there is a clearer distinction between "True Seals" (Foques) and Otariidae (Otaries), although there is probably still confusion between sea lions ("lions de mer" or "otaries à jarre") and fur seals ("otaries à fourrure"). This is a great shame, as a speaker of Franglais, as it makes saying "what a nice foque" less likely to be correct.
