The much-loved narrator explained that the bigger the animal’s nose becomes, the more attractive they become to a female.
In eye-brow-raising scenes, the male seal is seen inflating the sack in his left nostril until it blows up to the size of pretty large red balloon as his mating call.
However, his unimpressed love interest gives him a sharp nip on the tail, which is the seal equivalent of facing rejection.
Sir David’s brilliant commentary had viewers in hysterics as in his voice-over, he said: “No wonder he’s deflated.”
It didn’t take long until the show’s viewers shared their hilarious reactions to the rather bizarre moment, with many in fits of giggles.
One viewer wrote: “Hey, who wants to see my expandable sack?!”

Another joked: “Size matters,” while another penned: “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.”
Over a decade since the first series, Frozen Planet II uses new technology to take viewers on a journey through the earth’s coldest and most remote icy lands.
Talking about the show, David said in the trailer that the show explores “earth’s frozen habitats, where life finds a way not just to survive, but to thrive”.
