Скачать или смотреть Huddled Around the Hurt - Do Seals Protect Their Own?

It’s easy to romanticise the scene: several seals huddled around one of their own, shielding or protecting them from the humans approaching with nets. The truth is, we don’t know what they were thinking, but we do know one of them was in trouble.
Entangled in plastic, the injured seal was clearly compromised, and while the others might have been keeping warm, resting, or simply curious, we like to believe there’s more to it. What’s certain is that seals don’t understand the threat. They don’t know that ghost fishing gear, clothing waste, plastic bags, strapping bands, and netting are lethal.
They don’t get to make safe choices, they just suffer the consequences of our garbage.
