Incredible new images capture the bizarre mating ritual of hooded seals in which the male inflates a huge blood-red sac
from its nostril to attract the attention of potential mates.


The unique courting technique was snapped by wildlife photographer Sylvain Cordier in the Magdadalen Islands, Canada, during the species'
mating season.

Male hooded seals grow a cavity within their left nostril that is highly elastic - and can be quickly expanded using air to try to tempt potential mates.


This crimson sac is only displayed when a competitor approaches
in order to discourage them from trying to steal away the
female.

Mr Cordier, 72, said witnessing the 'amazing' scene was a 'dream come true'.
However, the French photographer was sure to
keep his distance, as the 400 kilogram (880lb) animals
become aggressive during mating season.

Incredible new images capture the stomach-churning
moment a hooded seal attempts to impress nearby females
by inflating an air sac in his nose. The unique flaunting technique was snapped by wildlife photographer Sylvain Cordier in the Magdadalen Islands, Canada,
during the species' mating season

Mr Cordier said: 'Hooded seals are very aggressive and therefore
it is difficult to get near them.

'The females can also be aggressive in order to protect their young. The males' heads are very striking, it was really exciting photos
to shoot because the mating spectacle is so amazing.'

Named after their inflatable nasal cavities, hooded seals boast one of the strangest courting
displays in the animal kingdom - filling an elasticated hood that covers the
top-half of their skulls with air.

This creates a balloon-like sac beneath the skin on top of their head.

As well as this hood, the animals have an inflatable left nostril that is sometimes used in sexual displays.



To flaunt it, the seal blocks off its right nostril and pushes air
into the other, inflating an elasticated membrane that shines bright red due
to the blood coursing through it.





Named after their inflatable nasal cavities, hooded seals
are extremely territorial, and males can weigh up to 400 kilograms (880 lb).

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using

way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
