Each colony has several males...after the females give birth they are receptive again, so there is a lot of battling under the ice (biting each others flippers and necks, and other personal parts). We see a lot of bloody males haul out on the ice.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040524233223926425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678619863886015737.post-69839903559664034372012-11-08T00:51:51.941-07:002012-11-08T00:51:51.941-07:00Got your eyes on the wind shadow, nice!

Appears to do this with some regularity. Is it the colder air moving down from the mountain ranges? Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160504887233509697noreply@blogger.com
