It is sad, yet perfectly normal, in colonies of tens of thousand pinnipeds to see dead bodies on the beach. Natural causes like predation, starvation and sickness prevent half the Cape fur seal pups to see year one. Older animals are also subject to diseases and injuries. We leave the dead bodies to the seabirds, jackals and hyenas.

I think it’s a prime example of how Mother Nature continually throws different evolutionary traits out to test what works and what doesn’t in the survival of a species……😮😮😊

@genekisayan6564

3 ай бұрын

Mother nature doesn't throw anything at all. The traits appear completely randomly over generations. Under the environment's pressure they are selected and the fittest stays along the way passing down the same mutation to future calfs. Btw it has already happened in the past that a mutation occurred and widely spread across the population, canceling a useful mutation that was allowing those species to survive in it, or at least was usefull in a way but not indispensable. A straight example is our eyes. Lots of mamals used to have more than 4 iris battons (don t remember exactly the scientific term), which would have allowed us to perceive a wider spectrum of the light. But unfortunately we, and other apes, lost it, resulting into narrowing our range of light wave perception😢

@moojuice369

3 ай бұрын

@@genekisayan6564 why do traits appear completely random over generations then, isn’t it to pass better traits along to the species for their future survival if that particular trait allows for better survival for the species. I think you took the word “throws” too literally. Apparently having 4 iris battons as you state was not useful enough and so was not retained in our genetic pool. 🙄

@@moojuice369 It's too bad, because I'd love to see into different spectrums of light and have even more colors to gawk at. But anyways, traits don't really appear 'completely randomly,' rather certain minute changes that suit the environment more tend to result in improved procreation, as those with the changed traits outcompete their competitors either via food and/or mating. As a result of this specialization, species tend to develop their own niches. Honestly, evolution's incredible, and I just love examining/imagining how things have changed over the millenia. Sadly, none of us live that long, and the best examples we get of "real-time" evolution tends to be in bacteria and viruses. :(

I know this is old but maybe there is explanation of why some seals have this odd behavior. 1. It's nothing other then just curiosity. 2. The seal had encounter other humans that either were friendly to him or saved their live. 3. Option 2 but with the parent that probably taught its pup to like humans. Good job on not giving them affection otherwise they could up being hurt by someone malicious.

It is good that you guys respect the laws of nature by not giving into the temptation of petting or coddling the seals. It is extremely important that they remain wary and on guard of humans, because unfortunately, not all humans have altruistic intentions as you guys do. Great work guys!

“Calm down man, these are the tall, legged creatures my mate told me about a few months ago that gave free back rubs, they’re chill.” Word gets around fast amongst seals apparently.

@fak series They are fools, they can't tell. What likely happened is the pups mom died and it was hungry, it was on the skinny side. It was attracted to the nets shape (designed to house a seal, it has a similar shape, they do not have great eyesight) and then just followed the people. If you take a look at the beach it's littered in dead pups and adult seals. As sad as it is, this is perfectly normal and one of natures ways of keeping population numbers down.

They're the dogs of the ocean. And if we were water-people, we'd keep them as pets. It breaks my heart to see our garbage hurting them so badly. It is my most fervent hope that humans will come to understand that we are THE keystone species on this planet, and that we are capable of always working with nature, rather than against it, and that one day we will undo much of the harm we have wrought on the other species of this world. You are a fine example of what being a keystone species is all about: helping to recognise and undo the harm we cause as a species. Taking responsibility for a small part of it, and doing your best for our animal friends. Thank you very kindly.

@@High_Tech_Priest They are often considered a nuisance to fishers because they appear to create competition. But it's really man-made problems that create fish shortages, not the seals. Also, there is a seal hunting season in Namibia. Seal harvesting in Namibia targets approx 86,000 seal pups and 8,000 adult bulls per year. Trusting humans and their ships and harbors make them easy targets. Also having full grown seals who are interested in humans can be a nuisance issue and may lead to more people being inclined to interact with them. And you irritate wild animals enough they will eventually start being hostile to some people. They can be extremely territorial, especially when it comes to their babies. It's better to leave all wild animals alone unless you are a rehabilitator or are doing rescue work.
