Seals
Species, occurrence, behaviour
Seals belong to the group of water-living mammals. Unlike whales and manatees, which have completely switched to aquatic life, seals lead a life both in the water and on land. This makes these animals special. The film shows facts about breeding, mating and physique - how seals and grey seals differ and what dangers come from human influences. How do seals manage to dive for 30 minutes without taking a breath? How can they hear under water and what is the function of the sensitive whiskers, the so-called vibrissae? These and other questions are answered in the film.

Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
