--Boundary_(ID_GXvIABkoZada/ktAlvHfTw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable I worried that we might not hear from federal Fisheries and Oceans =20 about what might have killed those seals that ended up on the beaches. Today's Chronicle Herald has a good article on this, "Dead seals =20 taken off beach". Don Bowen is a very experienced researcher on =20 seals of all kinds, and he says the dead ones are juveniles of grey =20 seals, three to eight weeks old, probably either from Cape Breton or =20 the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, and that probably they died of =20 natural causes. He says that every year about 30 per cent of the =20 70,000 grey seal pups die from various natural causes because of =20 their inexperience and not having parents to show them how to =20 survive. The only thing that is unusual this year is the number of =20 dead seals that have gotten so far south. WARNING: the article goes =20 into some details about the scavenging and decomposition that may not =20= be palatable to some readers.
