A long happy and fulfilled life

Mike the sea lion dies of heart failure after marathon mating session at German zoo

"The mammal, named Mike who was originally from California [OK, well what do you expect from a surfer seal], was already a father of 12.

He passed away yesterday after an extended session with the females at the park in Nuremberg proved too much for his heart.

Mike - described as 'good-natured' by the zoo - had mated repeatedly with females Farah, Tiffy and Soda. [You can tell those girls are trouble already.]

A bit further down:

'Mating season is a common time for fatalities when bulls often stop eating for days to devote themselves fully to mating.

'For sea lion bulls with a harem this is the most exhausting time.'


Let that be a warning to you, Bryan Ferry. And all you other silverbacks out there.
