That didn’t happen to be within her configuration of behaviors. I forgave her for I’ve seen exactly the same thing with Patagonian sea lions and in nature, a female sitting there shouted, “Pull him out,” and the poor little guy nearly dying. In the event, this pup, she did grab and pull it out. The one in nature didn’t and a little guy finally found his way out but just at the last minute, I think he was close to giving up. That’s really frustrating to a naturalist. Of course, dealing with a politician on an agreement, which I have done repeatedly, they can out do the mother seal lions. Sometimes it’s right there and they don’t pull it out of the water. And this comes about I’ve discovered because they know some other pressures and are under pressures that you were not, because you are not voted by a general election or appointed by somebody who is somebody’s uncle to the position.
