The value of #iron for a #seal: On the remote #SableIsland, #WHOI researchers are determining if an iron boost gives #GraySeal pups a head start https://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/the-value-of-iron-for-a-seal-sable-island-horses/
"Most #SealPups don’t make it through their first year, and the researchers want to figure out whether higher iron intake makes a difference in the pups’ survival... Everyone has been focused on the abundance of prey and how many calories #seals are able to take in, but maybe just as important is getting the iron that they need"
Today is the #InternationalSealDay
Let us celebrate!
