Along the coast of the Caspian Sea in Dagestan found 317 heads of dead seals, reports TASS with reference to the head of State Nature Reserve “Dagestan” Kurban Kunieva.
The expedition found washed up on the shore of animals at the site length of 27 kilometers. We are talking about adult. According Kunieva, seal storm wind brought to Dagestan coast of the Caspian Sea with neighboring territories.
The cause of the mass death of seals will not be possible to establish, since they were killed about two weeks ago, said the head of the reserve. According to him, poaching can not cause the death of so many individuals. The case could be an illness or in military exercises, which recently took place in the Caspian Sea.
“But this assumption, just say no one can” – he said.
A similar incident took place five years ago, while the causes of death of the seals also remain unknown, reminded Kuniev.
