Seals are a kind of marine life. We can often see seals in some TV programs. The real seals we usually see are usually in aquariums. Generally speaking, we can't see wild seals. When observing seals, we will find that some of their actions are very cute, such as patting the belly, sometimes they will continue to pat the belly, showing a charmingly naive appearance. Especially some younger seals, their character is very lively, more like to shoot belly. The seals we observe living in aquariums like to pat their bellies, while the seals living in the ocean seldom pat their bellies, sometimes with specific purposes.
1. The result of training: Seals living in aquariums like to pat their bellies, which is the result of breeder training. This behavior can show the cute of the seal, can attract people, so the keeper will intentionally train the seal to do this action. In addition, patting their bellies is also a reaction to their desire to eat, which they use to tell their keepers that they are hungry.
2. Message: As mentioned above, wild seals living in the ocean actually do not often take belly photos. It is just because the seals we usually observe are all seals living in aquariums, and the seals here like to take belly photos. We may think that this is the commonness of all seals. Wild seals sometimes pat their bellies, but for a specific purpose, which is to send a message. When they want to send messages to each other, they sometimes pat their bellies. However, they are not the only way to convey information, so they will not be photographed very often.
