It was the first time I met a seal (海豹),the most mysterious(神秘的) animal for me in the world.I jumped into the cold water to take a closer look.Immediately,she swam toward me and tried to
threaten me by putting my camera and much of my head into her mouth.I tried not to show any fear.After a few seconds,she let go of my head and swam away.
Then she came back with a live penguin.The penguin was for me.Of course,I didn't eat the penguin,and I think the seal was very disappointed.The seal thought I was just another seal,I realized.One most important thing in a seal's life is eating.So perhaps this seal was worried about me.She didn't want me to go hungry.She brought me some more penguins.She even tried to show me how to eat them.The seal tried to push penguins into my camera because she thought the camera was my mouth!
I understood that she was trying to feed me.But I think that she was really trying to communicate with me.By now,she didn't seem very dangerous.She stayed by me and tried to feed me for four days.One time,she noticed another seal come up behind me.She made a deep,warning sound and scared the other seal away.She then took that seal's penguin and gave it to me.
Those four days were the most unbelievable experience I ever had as a wildlife photographer,because I got some amazing pictures.I also learned that animals do not always behave the way we expect.My relationship with this powerful and smart animal will stay with me forever.
