Weddell Seals Time Their Hunts Strategically

New research from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and partners reveals that Weddell seals that inhabit the icy waters of Erebus Bay, Antarctica employ a careful hunting strategy when it comes to diving, timing their dives to balance energy use and foraging efficiency.

The study, published in Communications Biology, shows that the seals perform their longest and deepest dives early in the day, and not during midday when sunlight is at its peak.

Dolphin Intelligence: Do They Talk?

Dolphin intelligence is evident in a variety of ways. They demonstrate problem-solving abilities, self-awareness, and complex social interactions. Studies have shown that dolphins can recognise themselves in mirrors, which so far has only been achieved by the most intelligent of animals. Furthermore, they can understand symbolic language and have been observed using tools. For example, they use marine sponges to protect their rostrums while foraging on the ocean floor.
