      I have from time to time seen this behavior with seals in spots 
along the Maine coast but only in fall. I had assumed that it was part of 
courtship. Since the tail slap is generally a warning of danger for the 
other seals nearby, I wonder if a breach slap might be a warning of some 
underwater danger/predator nearby?
