Not-so-funny seal with bucket thread

category: general [glöplog]
 
Quote:
Minazo was forced to perform various stunts before audience at each
mealtime, such as holding a bucket with one flipper, bending back like
a prawn, and standing still while a keeper jumped and clung on him. The
hard work made him exhausted and might have caused his early death.


:( Poor Minazo

First Tuo, now Minazo :(

Actually Minazo preceded Tuo, he passed away back in 2005 and now he's enjoying posthumous internets fame.

Did he at least get a shot at the lady seals every now and again?

He was the only male elephant seal living in captivity, but I have no idea if there were any ladies hanging around in the same zoo. If so, I bet the keepers would love to see some baby elephant seals, since they're so rare!

"Hard work"?

Come on, seriously...have you ever seen these creatures in the wild in the mating season? THAT's hard work. Fighting off competitors, being bruised on an hourly basis, having sex constantly....

I think it was sadness that killed him :(
zoo = nazi camps!!!

But in the wild there aren't any buckets.
