All good things come to an end however and it was
probably my in ability to follow him into the sea that
eventually caused my new found friend to take himself off
sea-ward probably in search of a more able playmate.
A wonderful
memory of a real connection with a wild animal in its
natural environment. Why he decided to try and play like
this I'm not sure, but it was towards the end of my time in
Antarctica and I'd probably learned a lot more fur seal
body-language than I realised.
