What 'Neil the Seal' can teach us about seal behavior: Marine biologist explains

Neil the Seal became a social media sensation almost overnight. Neil is a 5-year-old male southern elephant seal who weighs roughly 1 metric

Neil, the southern elephant seal, illustrated key aspects of seal biology: long-distance ocean foraging, the need for undisturbed haul-out periods for rest and catastrophic moult recovery, and the dominance- and exploration-related behaviours in young males. His case highlights that close human approach can stress seals and pose safety risks, while coordinated management, distancing guidelines, and citizen reports are critical for safe human–wildlife coexistence.

Human‑made chemicals are harming seals at the molecular level, study finds

Ringed seals are among the most common marine mammals in the Canadian Arctic. They strongly rely on sea ice as a habitat, breathing through

Ringed seals in the Canadian Arctic exhibit molecular-level health disruptions due to persistent organic pollutants, notably PCBs and pesticides, which induce oxidative stress and alter amino acid metabolism. Climate-driven sea ice loss and warming further reduce essential fatty acids and blubber thickness, compounding contaminant exposure and physiological stress.
