Antarctic Fur Seal Pup Having Fun With Father Wincent aytVY #wildlife #nature #seal | HAWI Studios

A male Antarctic fur seal checks out a rival male on the Island of South Georgia in the South Atlantic Ocean. 95% of the world's Antarctic fur seals breed on South Georgia. Each year in October, the males return from the open ocean to setup territories up and down the beaches. The females then return to these beaches to give birth to a tiny pup. Shortly after giving birth, the females then come into estrous. At this point, all hell breaks loose as the males battle for breeding rights. Shot in 8K
