| I found this article[1] answered allot of the questions I was left with after reading the linked article. > “What we normally do is put a satellite transmitter on any animal that we deploy instruments on. In this case, we didn’t, because we expected this (camera) just to be gone at sea for a couple of days,” said Lidgard in an interview Friday. > “With hindsight, probably not a good idea,” he added with a laugh. > The idea, he said, was to deploy the camera four or five times, each time removing it from the seal to get the data after a few days and reattaching it to continue the research. > In this case, Lidgard said he thinks the seal was starting to go through the moulting process and was foraging for food when the camera fell from its back. No video footage there either sadly. [1] https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2021/10/08/lost-seal-mou... |
My god. This will probably considered a low value comment on here but the phrase is "a lot".
