Back to the fight: Male elephants seals at Año Nuevo

Elephant Seals Homecoming Days are here, and it's that time again: claiming and defending beach territory at the start of the mating season. Male elephant seals get bloody, but somebody always runs away in hopes to mate another day. Smart seals.

True! And then something like a mole comes running up and eats one of the birds- and ends up on youtube.

IT seems to be a recurring theme in nature that wherever you have bad-ass, multi-ton, monstrous beasts that can tear crap apart in a second you find tiny birds right in the middle of it completely unharmed.
