seals......rush hour
cape fria - skeleton coast np - namibia nov. 2004

here they meet to the ten thousends.
we saw many babies which had been killed by male seals by "mistake" : the males fight each other in order to mate as often as possible. as the females are still feeding the offspring and the babies are close with the mothers the babies are often just a matter of "collateral damages" :-(((
jackals and brown hyenas regularly patrol the beach in order to find an easy meal...

These seals epitomize the paradoxically curious nature of existence - destroying the lives of children in a blind urge to reproduce ...Very similar to some human qualities
