Thousands of seal pups discovered dead

[Eldorado]

Thousands of dead seal pups have been washed up on land in Namibia – raising consternation from animal conservation groups.

Cape fur seals, who are often called the “dogs of the ocean” due to their playful nature, will often desert their young or abort their foetuses if there is a dearth of food around.

Naude Dreyer, of Ocean Conservation Namibia, noticed the bodies after flying his drone over Walvis Bay’s Pelican Point seal colony on 5 October.
