A famous philosopher pondered why seals can balance balls. They don't need to in the wild. Could a tiger play the banjo? Who's gonna try?

The seal thing isn't a huge surprise; they need a lot of fine nose control to swim and hunt efficiently. The same way we need hand eye coordination and can balance balls with our hands.

It's from a standup routine from Eddie Izzard.
