Carnivorousness

If you come in my cage I'll eat you too!

If that ain't just like a mammal!

Last night on PBS they had a reallly fun Nature about the multiculturally diverse array of sharks that gather off the coast of South Africa. A certain time of year the powers that be remove the shark nets that protect swimmers from attack and let the sharks swim in close to shore for a fish feed. A ribbon of very cold water sweeps through, carrying millions of sardines.

Birds, fur seals and many different sharks, at normal times mortal enemies, ignore each other while they stuff themselves with as many fish as their tummies can hold. Most of the seals catch their own fish but a few of the fur seals have found that the birds floating on the surface of the ocean have bellies full of fish. These rogue seals swim up and grab the birds by the neck, rip open their bellies and eat the fish. Lazy, no good, sociopathic seals. Letting others do all the work while they reap the benefits! Then those same seals get mad when people want to kill them and take their fur! The nerve. These seals remind me of men my friends date! They only show up on payday.
