ELEPHANT SEAL: BIBLIOGRAPHY 249 



The elephant seal are of extremely low intelligence, as the survivors take no notice 

 at all of the slaughter of their companions. A slight disturbance is caused in the rookeries 

 in driving the bulls out of the harems, which they are loth to leave, and down to the 

 water ; but as soon as the hunters have passed through the rookeries the seal all settle 

 down again, and the spare bulls proceed to annex the harems and fight amongst them- 

 selves for them. The blood and carcasses, and the presence of the sealers cause no 

 disturbance, nor does the sound of rifle fire, as it is possible to shoot many in succession 

 right alongside each other. Sometimes the spare bulls get sufficiently scared to enter 

 the water, but they do not go away and soon haul out again. The cows and pups take 

 no notice whatever of the killing.
