... that's what this image is about .
Hi folks , this big grey seal bull was just frustrated, because only limited numbers of females were available on the beaches of Helgoland back in jan of 2016 . By the month of januar mating season is mostly done ...so the bulls are still there in bigger numbers . As a result they do fight more for the few females ... and the less dominant bulls are the losers of that situation . Ending up in frustration .... to overcome that frustration , some of them go for pups or smaller seals . Regardless of the size they are trying to mate with them .... some are not surviving this behavior .
But that is nature !!!
