Snuggling on the Beach

This unique video is of a tourist who sat on the beach to watch the seals and penguins on Gold Harbor, South Georgia. Unexpectedly, one of the seals is apparently attracted to her and slowly works his way over to her. He seems to 'fall in love' and snuggles and flirts with her. It is quite an unusual and interesting scene. The seals are huge (males up to 6,000 lbs.), yet she never seemed afraid...more amused...while someone shot the video of this incident.

Makes you wonder what kind of perfume she has on?

Gold Harbor, South Georgia, is located off the southern tip of South America (sub arctic). It is a small bay five miles S-SW of Cape Charlotte, with Bertrab Glacier at its head, along the east end of Georgia. The west end of the beach where a glacial stream flows is a breeding ground for various types of penguins and large seals. It is not a frequent destination for tourists.
