Counting Seals
Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
Counting seals is harder than it may appear. Surveys typically assess numbers at seal breeding beaches, but these figures are skewed because most male fur seals at South Georgia don't usually breed until they are 10 years old, and then only for 2 to 3 years. That means some 80% of the male population is missing from surveys, and how researchers account for this can overstate the overall count.
