Seals discovered having sex with penguins

[marmar]

(BBC) Things are heating up in the cold climes of the sub-Antarctic. On a remote, and mostly desolate island, seals have been caught engaging in an extreme form of sexual behaviour.

Specifically, they have been trying to have sex with penguins.

More than one fur seal has been caught in the act, on more than one occasion.

And it's all been captured on film, with details being published in the journal Polar Biology. ..............(more)

1. the meaning of the words "funk" and "funky" may have forever changed for me

now to reference the sexual behavior of young seals on Funk Beach.

[closeupready]

29. Yes, the gays are to blame. It was only a matter of time;

Santorum tried to warn us.

7. frustrated young seals with no females with which to mate

are just opportunists... this is nothing new in the animal kingdom.

sP

[closeupready]

30. Is that sarcasm? You were there, and know there were no females?

[ProdigalJunkMail]

33. did you read the article?

it quite clearly stated that these were young males without the 'harems' maintained by the older/dominant bulls. but you wouldn't have asked that if you read the article...

sP

[closeupready]

40. Your muddled thoughts on sexuality betray your naivete.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

45. the fact that it is mentioned in the article

BY THE AUTHOR means nothing to you? i mean... i guess i could have quoted it for you but i doubt it would matter given this response. see if you can find it in the article... it should jump out and bite you... and then you can take your argument to the researcher who talked about it.

thanks for being so obstinate. solves my issues.

sP

8. Thanks,

Obama!


Off topic: My wife just told me of Face Book comments where Palin's supporters are diverting criticism of the dog-abuse incident thusly: "Well, at least Trig didn't eat the dog Like Obama did.", referring of course to the anecdote Obama himself reported of a childhood incident in Indonesia during which he was served a portion of dog-meat.

False-equivalency is their mainstay.

Okay, you may resume discussing seals doing teh Gay...

9. Okay, so a penguin takes his car to a repair shop...

...because smoke is coming out of the engine. The mechanic says he'll need a half hour to look at it.

So, while the mechanic is looking at the engine, the penguin goes across the street to eat some ice cream.

The penguin gets some ice cream on his beak, and when he come back to the shop he says, "So, how's the car?" and the mechanic says, "It looks like you blew a seal."

And the penguin says, "No, it's just some ice cream. What's wrong with the car?"

10. I was drinking Early Grey tea while reading your post. I knew I should swallow, but I couldn't

get it down my throat because I started laughing too hard.

So it's now on my shirt, keyboard, and floor.

And I'm still laughing....

11. Who hasn't looked at a penguin and thought, "Zug-zug!"?

[IMG][/IMG]

[Bigmack]

12. It's the penguin's fault...

It should not have dressed so provocatively.

[uponit7771]

24. touche'

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. Tuxedos are irresistable.

Or so, I'm told

[xchrom]

[workinclasszero]

31. "Every girls crazy bout a sharp dressed man"

Apologies to ZZ Top LOL

[TeeYiYi]

35. This is a disturbing story...

...which appears to be rape followed by, in at least one case, murder.

In three of the four recorded incidents the seal let the penguin go. But on one of the more recent occasions, the seal killed and ate the penguin after trying to mate with it.

TYY

[Peregrine Took]

37. Its horrible. The tiny penguin is pinned down by the huge seal.

I heard a scientist describe it and he says its heartbreaking to observe.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

38. I heard Crofts was into some weird shit, too.

[yellowcanine]

39. Rick Santorum needs to get on this right away before it infects the rest of us.

Man on dog is one thing, but man on penguin cannot be tolerated.

[yellowcanine]

41. Is it bestiality if a fur seal does it to a penguin????

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Monk06]

42. The Sea Lion word for a seal humping a penquin is hor d'oeuvre.

[madokie]

43. wouldn't that be more like rape than having sex

[Glassunion]

44. Whew! I thought this was another hockey thread.
