Robotic Sumo Elephant Seals

Some readers here will remember some footage I recorded on South Georgia a couple of years ago featuring two huge Elephant Seals scrapping it out for ownership of a section of surf beach.



After posting that footage on YouTube last year, a Japanese producer later discovered it and purchased it for two national Japanese television shows. Here is one of those, presented in true iconic Japanese style, with sound effect and graphics one can only admire. Nature docos at their finest. Enjoy...

    Dear Richard,

    Thank you for leaving us a comment on our blog. We enjoyed watching your dvd. Mia asks how was your trip in Easter? We also enjoyed the elephant seal clip.

    We look forward to getting pictures of polar bears when you go to the Arctic. Hope you have a safe trip to the Arctic.

  2. Thanks for commenting Room 6. Mia, my trip at Easter to West Africa was fantastic. I will put a short video of that trip on my blog soon.
