I viewed them at dusk, through a telescope, from a ridge overlooking the area they were hunting. They will also kill any water birds they can capture, from Kingfishers to Mallard.

Anyone who challenged w's environmental policies as too liberal is a true hater of anything she can't eat or kill for fur. Keep women in their place and remember to hunt and kill the wolves and any other animal that gets in their way. I also believe that there will be absolutely no thought behind any of her behavior.

Sperm Whales feed deep, diving to the bottom of the trench, hunting for a while, then rising again to catch a breath. The boat moves quickly past interesting things; Northern Giant Petrels , Buller’s Shearwaters , White-capped Albatrosses , New Zealand Fur Seals (I understand they will pause to see dolphins).
