    That scene cracked me up: the two immatures were pestering the adult for food. It obviously didn't have any, but it was actually very patient, and simply shuffled away from them instead of snapping at the kiddos. Except they were at the top of a narrow sea stack, and the adult eventually ran out of room to set its feet! Posted 3 years ago
