His imposing, upright posture makes him look as if he is standing with his two arms folded!

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?
Otaru Aquarium's Marine Mammal Park: A place where creatures can live freely!
Gatchirika, who regularly travels to aquariums and zoos around the country to see seals, told us about the charms of Otaru Aquarium.
At Otaru Aquarium, you can feed fish to the seals and sea lions during normal business hours, excluding winter. It's fascinating to watch the seals, hoping to get some fish, slapping the water's surface, raising their paws, making grunting noises, and each trying to make their own appeal.
Also, at the Todo show, you can see the impressive figures of the seals climbing up the rocks and jumping. The penguin show where they don't listen to anything is also cute lol
