In Mersin, on the beach of Limonlu in Erdemli district vacationers noticed a seal. The seal, which was about two meters long, swam for quite a long time near the shore, and then swam out to sea. Mersin fishermen reported that they had seen this seal before and fed it with fish. So there is a good chance to see this unique animal again.
The Mediterranean seal is threatened with extinction; there are no more than 1000 seals left in the world.
