Hundreds of seals found in London's River Thames

Great News, isn't it?

Hundreds of grey and harbour seals have been found living along the Thames in London.

Seals by the River Thames

It's after the first large-scale survey of them.Scientists from the Zoological Society of London, found there were more than 700 seals living along the river - most of these were in the Thames Estuary.


They say this suggests that the quality of water in the river has improved.At this time of year the seals go onto sandbanks to get rid of their summer jackets and grow an autumn/winter coat.So it was a great time for scientists to do a headcount.

    I'm surprised! I had no idea that the Thames could be a healthy place for seals or any other animals. It's really a good sign though authorities still have a lot of work to do to change the Thames colour and quality of the water.

    What do you know? It's fantastic! It means the environment is improving its quality, namely the water which has a muddy colour.Thanks for sharing the information.
