Seals with penguins - the most fruitful love of the earth appeared

Antarctica is a land with a lot of peculiar features, including stories

Antarctica is a land with a lot of peculiar features, and in it there are all the weird "room the" stories of the animal world here.

In the middle of the 20th century, British explorer George Murray Levick had encountered unusual sexual behaviors in species, including and . (the term refers to the act of doing it with dead bodies) .

But perhaps it wasn't all that shocking because the video was published by the BBC, about the scene . the seal was crushing a penguin out to "bully".

In fact, this strange love story is not the first time. It has been recorded since 2006, when a scientist discovered a seal trying to caress a king penguin on Marion Island (an island on the edge of Antarctica).

At that time, experts thought this was an accident, perhaps because the seal was too tired to meet the demand. Some people think otherwise, thinking that it is an act of territorial protection.

Or maybe they're just playing with each other, which just happens to look a bit like an adult's game.

However, since 2014, researchers began to look more closely and found that this behavior took place at least 3 more times.

"Actually, I don't think that scene will happen again since 2006," said Dr Nico de Bruyn, director of the research group, in the journal Polar Biology.

Bruyn said, his group has seen Antarctic seals constantly crushing king penguins, at least three times. It is unclear what the gender of the penguin is, only that they are . victims.

All the walls were done in the same scenario: Seals chased, arrested, and pinned down.

Usually, king penguins are the preferred prey of seals. However, with these rain clouds, the seals usually release their victims. There was only one case where the seal killed my . penguin's love.

The reason why seals have this strange behavior is still a mystery. The reason may be because of the spike in hormones that prevent them from growing in the breeding season. Maybe so.
