The count of the seals

First, a byologist explained the most important facts about seals in Denmark and their behaviour .Then, she gave us some photographs of seals taken from a helicopter and we divided into groups of two. We made sections of pictures to avoid counting the same seals twice.

•We started counting the seals paying attention on dividing pups by adults and grey seals by common seals.

• After this we went outside to the pool to study their behaviour: common seals use to dive for about 30 minutes, grey seals for less than 10 minutes
