"What Goes Around Comes Around"

When we first saw this photo, our reaction was...
OMG... how did this seal deserve such a cruel punishment?
...to be sentenced to swim in a narrow tube??? That is so wrong!

Then it occurs to us that... maybe the zookeepers was teaching the seal a lesson for mocking at us human's upright posture...
...
OK. Jokes aside.
This is what we were wondering. Do seals like swimming upright?

We did a quick check on the seal's common behaviours, and here is what we have found...
Seals do swim upright! And they do that alot! It's called 'bottling'.
Seals are often seen 'bottling', meaning staying upright with only their head showing above water. They do this especially when they are sleeping.


So to our question as to whether seals like to swim upright?
Of course they do! They are used to it!
