[01] Baby monk seal sunbathes on Halkidiki beach
A baby seal has chosen to rest on the beaches of Sithonia
Halkidiki. Scientists of Mom/ Hellenic Society for the Study and
Protection of the Mediterranean Monk Seal were informed by the Coast
Guard that a young monachus monachus is sunbathing on the beach of
Sithonia, something very encouraging over the increase of Mom population
in Halkidiki.
The existence of the baby seal indicates that we have reproduction
of the species in the region and if there are not disturbed then the
population may rise, Mom biologist Stella Adamantopoulou said to the
Athens-Macedonian News Agency.
She also advised the people not to approach the animal, to not pour water
on it and not try to put it back to the sea because is is not washed out
but it has chosen to get off the water and lie on the sand to sunbathe
and sleep.
