ISLAND BEACH STATE PARK - The O'Sullivan family knew they could jump in the ocean during their visit to the beach here, but were surprised at a chance to tread through the bay hunting for clams.

Not a good time for young to be born or for the older young who are not experienced with getting away from hungry predators. But the way the world works when the older, experienced bucks are the ones the hunters want, leaving their duties to the younger inexperienced bucks.
