Seal Species Declared Dead In 1892 Makes Dramatic Return
Posted by Justin on October 14th, 2010
Russian and American traders could not kill Guadalupe Fur Seals fast enough through the 1890s. Kill, kill, kill, kill, was the order of the day. But try as we might, you can’t keep a good seal down. Although apparently we can lose track of them for a century and change.
15,000 of the thought-to-be-totally-wiped-out species were found straight chilling in a few caves off the coast of Mexico.
