The secret to pre-existing natural danger of hat seals

A normal seal has something red and red in front of the other nose?

The natural world is sometimes strange, giving birth to animals whose appearance is not the same.

For example, the creature in the picture below, its nose looks like it has both a bee nest and its head. But actually, creation created it like that.

In the picture is a male hooded seal.

The photo was taken by Sylvain Cordier, a 72-year-old Canadian photographer at Magdadalen Island (Canada). In the picture is a male hooded seal , and the red and red thing in the picture is its nostrils .

This is a quite different seal from its relatives. On the face of this animal has a fairly large tumor, extending down to half face - so it is called a hat. However, its nose does not always look as red as the picture above.

It's normal to look cute at normal times.

You see, it looks really cute when you look normally. But in the male's left nostril there is a very flexible drum cavity. When needed, it can push air in to inflate it, forming a ball that looks extremely bizarre.

This is a special way to survive. The hat with a hat will only inflate its airbag when it meets a competitor, especially during the . wedding season. The bigger the nose grew, the more it looked to the children, and became more intimidating in the eyes of other males.

According to Mr. Cordier, observing and capturing these pictures is really like a dream. The reason is because even though it looks pretty cute, the hat seal is a particularly fierce species, especially during mating. And having to face a creature weighing nearly 400kg when it is angry is not something to do.

The bigger the nose grows, the more it looks to the female.

"They are very aggressive, so getting close is extremely difficult," - Cordier said.

"Children can be aggressive to protect their young. And the males, their heads at this stage look very attractive."

This is also the method to attract the most exotic partner in the animal world . So see, how strange can creature be.
