Pollution is one of the biggest issues posing threats to the environment. They not only affect human lives but endanger the wildlife too. Recently, a wildlife photographer spotted seagulls playing with a dildo on a Californian beach. Jennifer Leigh Warner, Wildlife Photographer was at the La Jolla beach when she saw the sea birds playing with something other than food. Curious to know what they were tossing around, Jennifer took a close look at the object. She was both shocked and surprised at finding out that it was a dildo. Calling it the 'funniest plastic pollution joke' she posted pictures of the birds playing with dildo, on Instagram. Balloons Are Killing Seabirds!

She clicked the pictures on February 18. She noticed the birds after seeing them tossing and chasing the object. Eventually, one of the birds took it away and flew away. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, "They were playing keep away and tossing it to one another and then flying around the beach with it. I could tell that what they had wasn't food and when I got a closer look I realized what it was. All I have to say is remember, what ends up in the ocean, ends up in the mouths of wildlife.
