In spanish it's also foca, and in french it's "phoque" which is pronounced "fok"

In Italian too it's the same as in Spanish: "foca"

What a cute little foka

The Latin name of the species is “phoca”, IIRC

A French-American guy (grew up in US) in my school described an encounter at a zoo when he was a young. Apparently, he ran up to the exhibit and shouted, "look! it's a daddy fuck and a mommy fuck with a baby fuck!", much to the chagrin of his parents.

Foka kurwa!

Presumably using full English grammar and such it would be: "Matka foka" for mother seal. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say thats probably not how its translated properly fully in polish. But I was really hoping mother would be mama in polish so it could be mama fucker!

It is. Mother/mom = Matka/mama.

Taking another spin at it: Young seal = młoda foka, which reads almost like mother fucker :). Go check it out on google translate.

Also this meaningless mumbling: "tea who you yeah bunny" is fonetically equivalent to saying "you fucking dick" = Ty chuju jebany.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie
