Maybe these animals are responsible for the allegation by la Kretina of the British secret weapons benign installed in the archipelago.

Klingon will be on the next flight to approach a bull and his hareem-good luck sonny-hope you find them ' nice and cuddly'. And while you're at it Klingon if you see a Leopard Seal remember to approach it from the rear.....Don't be too hard on the Elephant Seals, one of them is likely to be Maximo Kirchener.
