Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
Me too, belljar, it's amazing that he even made it to shore. It always saddens me to hear about things like this. I live in Florida, and over the past few years have seen many beachings of dolphins and porpoises, and even a baby sperm whale, who is definitely not native to our coast. I live near an airforce base, and have always sensed that whatever they're doing technology-wise has had a hand in it.

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
Glad I don't have to see that I'm very sensitive when it comes to protecting animals I just start crying if I find one dead or I see someone trying to hurt them. My family thinks I'm crazy because I'm always trying to save all the animals who need help that cross my path.

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
I know, girl, I am the same way. But about the beachings; that was what really prompted me to change my major in college to marine mammal biology. I believe that, while I may run into some obstacles along the way, that I will be able to make a difference, to help these poor creatures. (When I finish school, of course 
) I've always been into nature, but have a stronger bond with the ocean, having lived on the beach all my life.

Oh no. I've been avoiding reading up on that story because I was afraid of that. He looked so sad in that little picture of him.

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
I came across an article at the website fourfour last night. The author is quite a good writer, though a little too obsessed with mainstream telelvision, but he's very smart and he's a cat person who posts pics of his adorable cat Winston among other insightful things.
Anyway, he pointed out that there's been a whole slew of silly CGI Pixar movies about animals and specifically Penguins lately. I had wondered what it was all about, and he says that its an attempt to get people to think everything is ok in the north pole and the animals are happy and partying. The latest movie is about a penguin who becomes a surfer and travels to a tropical island [!!] to compete with other penguins in a surfing contest. Its called "Surfs Up" Ummm yeah....I don't think that would be a good thing somehow.
Oh don't worry, go back to sleep. The arctic animals are travelling south and will be happy in their new global warming climate...
Here's the movie poster. Also look at the caption: "A true story" [??????!!!!]

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
Darkstar,
While a career in biology would be fascinating it appears to be a rather dangerous field these days. Particularly micro-biology.

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
That is some scary stuff! Those guys definitely knew something that someone didn't want them to know. But I still plan to pursue marine biology, I don't feel that it will be quite as dangerous. I've spoken to quite a few marine biologists, even got to intern with some last year, and it just seems like such an awesome job to have. Thank you for the heads up though

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
For the longest time I attributed marine mammal beachings as strictly a pollution issue, but recently I heard Alan Watt cite the problem being caused from naval sonar transponders which are placed in the ocean in a grid pattern for navigation. It certainly seems like a much more plausable explaination in that all these animals involved rely on sonar for their own seasonal migrations. These transponders foul and confuse the animals inate navigational abilities.

Re: Arctic seal captured in Ft. Lauderdale
Article in today's paper http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/04/world … ref=slogin
Penguins in danger of extinction in South Africa. I never knew penguins lived so far south, but I thought this was interesting since there have been a number of movies about penguins in the last three years both live action and animated. There's something strange about it. Anytime TPTB focuses so much on one particular thing and puts money behind it.
The "shelter" biologists have built for the African penguin is suspicious:
you can't see the top of the picture, but it was a pyramid with capstone
