Frozen Planet 2 viewers left blushing by VERY strange seal seduction scenes – and can’t resist filthy jokes
FROZEN Planet 2 made its debut on Sunday night – but viewers have been left blushing after seeing just how seals mate.
The nature series, which is presented by Sir David Attenborough, brings viewers on a journey through earth’s frozen worlds and the wildlife that inhabits them.
The first episode explained the mating process of seals – and just how different it is to human beings.
A female seal spends just four days feeding her pup and recovering from giving birth as Sir David revealed she’s then ready to start mating again.
However, viewers were more concentrated on male seals and how they breed.
They saw how a male seal breeds through their nose, via an “expandable sac” in their left nostril as Sir David told viewers.

Once the sac is inflated, it’s then up to the female to decide if the male is her type.
Unfortunately in this case, the male seal was rejected with a large grunt from his counterpart and a nip on the tail.
Clearly embarrassed, the male retreated back into the sea and took his rejection.
“With only one day in the year in which to mate, the female is understandably choosy,” remarked Sir David.
He also explained how younger seals are unlikely to be chosen by females as their balloon isn’t big enough.

As the camera focused on the youngster, Sir David quipped: “No wonder he’s deflated.”
Viewers were left blushing and delivering filthy jokes following the scenes.
“Right, expandable nostril sack clearly the missing link when dating,” joked John.
“I mean I’d be turned off too if a great big fat seal blew a pink ballsack out of its left nostril to try and woo me,” joked Luke.
Frozen Planet 2 airs Sunday night’s on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer.
