EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about an odd couple! This hilarious print captures the moment when a big bull Southern Elephant Seal decides to crash a chinstrap penguin colony on the Island of South Georgia. Date: 02/12/2008. It's like watching a heavyweight boxer join a ballet class! With his massive blubber and huge proboscis, this charismatic seal stands out among the petite and dapper penguins. He must have thought he was auditioning for 'March of the Giants' instead of 'March of the Penguins'! The southern elephant seal, also known as Mirounga Leonina, is definitely living life in its own lane - or should we say beach? While these seals are usually found lounging around Antarctica, it seems this adventurous fellow decided to take a detour to visit his pint-sized friends. We can only imagine what went through their minds when they saw this unexpected visitor waddling towards them. Were they impressed by his size or just confused by his trunk-like nose? One thing's for sure - this snapshot perfectly captures nature's sense of humor and reminds us that even in the animal kingdom, friendships can be formed between unlikely pairs. Kudos to Martin Zwick from Ardea Picture Library for capturing such an unforgettable moment in wildlife history!
