Seals in mourning say goodbye to their dying friends Interior

"One after the other, one literally came to say goodbye to the animal.One of the animals lay next to him and put his head on his body, just as with a death bed. ", says Cees van Hoven of the help of a marine mammal in Omroep Zeeland.

The counselor always has a tight throat when he thinks about it. It was the first time that he was experiencing something like that. "Normally, we see this only in films about Africa in which elephants say goodbye to a man who dies, it's good that seals do it too," says Cees.

The seal was in a difficult place. When it was dark, the caregivers chose to leave the animal. "The location is too dangerous because of the high flow and darkness that reigns for the rescuers," writes the head of government Zeezoogdierenhulp in a message on Facebook.
