Because of what I do for a living, I tend to watch for unusual behavior around the edges, so to speak. The BBC...and you can guess what I think of the BBC in general...just posted a freaky story about a young male seal apparently trying to copulate with a (male) penguin.
What makes the story freaky is the attitude of the reporter and the language in his story. It reads like the tale of a rape perpetrated by a human on another human. The title says, "Sex Pest Seal Attacks Penguin", the texts calls the incident an "assault" and calls the seal "brazen", while setting it in a context of "sexual coercion".
And none of this is tongue-in-cheek. PC discourse now attributed to animals. Creepy.
