The cause of seal raping penguin.

Seals rape penguins because the perpetrators are not the same seal, so the researchers infer that seals imitate each other and learn this behavior, and suggest that this phenomenon will continue to occur, but I don't know why seals have such activities. "Although it is almost impossible for seals to carry out this abnormal behavior, we still speculate on the reasons for this cross-species activity." Nick of the Mammalian Institute said that at first, it may be because seals' predation on penguins stimulated their "sexual desire". But after discovering that seals killed penguins, Nick gave up this idea. Finally, he came to the conclusion that this behavior was learned from other places. Some researchers speculate that these seals may be inexperienced or frustrated, or it is an aggressive behavior. It may be difficult for them to identify the female seal.
