How are the gray seal pups doing? We’re about to find out. In a new project, researchers from Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the Swedish Museum of Natural History and University of Gothenburg are collecting footage of the pups in the Baltic Sea. Using drones, they are measuring the length, girth and weight of the pups to get an overview of their condition when they are weaned from their mothers. The project will run for three years.
