'Sex pest' seal attacks penguin

An Antarctic fur seal has been observed trying to have sex with a king penguin.

The South African-based scientists who witnessed the incident say it is the most unusual case of mammal mating behaviour yet known.

The incident, which lasted for 45 minutes and was caught on camera, is reported in the Journal of Ethology.

The bizarre event took place on a beach on Marion Island, a sub-Antarctic island that is home to both fur seals and king penguins.

Why the seal attempted to have sex with the penguin is unclear. But the scientists who photographed the event speculate that it was the behaviour of a frustrated, sexually inexperienced young male seal.

Equally, it might have been an aggressive, predatory act; or even a playful one that turned sexual.

"At first glimpse, we thought the seal was killing the penguin," says Nico de Bruyn, of the Mammal Research Institute at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.

Ain't it grand to know we're a step above the animals? At least we only rape within our own species.


Well, most of the time.

First attempt at seal/penguin hybrid creation fails

That's just what we want the public to believe... >.>

in b4 obligatory "being crushed by a giant seal sounds like my sex life"

the scientists who photographed the event

...have made a fortune

Given how many states where it's legal to have sex with animals, I don't know...

Our future overlords will probably be human/sheep hybrids!

We didn't see this in March of the Penguins.

I don't quite know how Morgan Feeman would have handled seal-rape.

And furries all over the world cream in their collective pants.

Don't forget Happy (Instert Anatomical Part Here).

Seeing as the Welsh don't even own their own country, I doubt it.

I, for one, welcome our Human-Sheep overlords!

Bow to the Sheeppeeps!

Never underestimate the depraved nature of human kind... It's more common than you think...

Human/sheep maybe. But what about human/chimp?

If at first you don't succeed, try try again. :)

This is a terrible cheap shot, but I have to take ithttp://www.portifex.com/DailyBlague/archives/BushChimp.JPG.

You lucky naive bastard.

We will see that when the directors cut is released

Nope. The furries also have a significant fox population. Bow down to the furries, especially those who are trapped in human bodies. We are more willing to kill you and can operate weaponry. Bow down if you want your brains to remain in your head and not splattered all over the ground. They also are building a fully-operational doomsday device.

The Hybrid Development Program has started long ago and continues to this day. Where do you think the phrase "(insert location here), where the men are men, the women are few, and the sheep are nervous" came from? France? Their reputation as cheese-eating surrender monkies would make that impossible, as noone would care what phrases they use.

Bow down.

Sheep? Please...You could have picked a way better animal....

I am soo going to regret asking this, but what is the deal with guys having sex with goats?

I want to have a blue haired dog. Can someone please clone a penguin (they have blue hair not black before someone thinks of the movies) and a dog.

Oh also I liked the idea on avatar where ducks had shells on their back.

Seriously tho the holy grail of financial cloning is for a black rose. Some asian cultures will pay heaps for that
