Quoted from @GacchiRika's post

His imposing, upright posture makes him look as if he is standing with his two arms folded! Comments on social media such as "He looks strong," "Maybe he was human in a past life," "He looks like a master," and "He's like a PE teacher standing at the school gates" have been posted, and the post has garnered a great response, with over 50,000 likes.

When we spoke to Gatchirika, the person who posted the video, he told us that the seals in the photo were from a show. In particular, "Seiko-chan," who is standing in the foreground, was standing in the pool for quite a long time.

Moreover, this was not the only time they saw a seal standing up, but the next day they also saw a seal standing up when they visited the aquarium. Perhaps this is a common sight at Otaru Aquarium?
