This scene of three seals was so exciting to view. There was non stop action from beginning to end with RO18 a real jerk to Benny. Benny is still finishing his molt, wasnt interested in M and M. He just wanted to pass R018 to cool off in the water. But R018 was a real ass, fighting Benny evey step he took near M and m. Benny had to pass in front of R018, there was no other way out of the little spot he was snuggled in. I felt like tossing the coconut at R018, who was at Bennys throat every time Benny got up.
After two hours of trying to pass R018, Benny saw a moment R018 wasnt looking, took that time to speed off into the water, but R018 heard Benny plopping about, charged Benny immediately, holding Benny under water, biting his neck etc. It was awful to witness. But Benny struggled from R018 and shot out to opened sea. R018 heading after Benny, trying to cut him off at the pass, But...Benny is a fast seal and he was FREE!!!
That asshole R018 then went to his WOMAN M and M and guarded her the rest of the time. We watched Benny off shore, enjoying his swim, getting cooled off. It was so hot, even R018 dived into the little pond, totally sinking his fat body in the pond. Then he shot up, went over to M and M, making sure, she was still there.
It was a truly exciting two hours with lots of biting go on. R018 smashed Benny both on land and in the ponds. Benny stood his grounds, wow, such power between both males. And as for M and M, she just layed there, scratching herself now and then, mostly SNOOZING through the whole fight, like she had no worries what so ever. I think I shot 400 photos, just really exciting show!!!!!! And no, I never threw the coconut...I wanted to...
