Seals

In the seas arround Holland, we have seals
with the local name "Zeehond".

They are really fun to see in the wild. Last century the population of seals, became low. Thats why two rescue centers got founded, here in Holland.

Now a days the population is bigger again, and the seals are doing good. Schools go to the centers, to educate the children about how important the sea is.

Most of the seals are found when they are young and lost. In the centers they get, food and brought up, untill they are big enough. When big enought they will be released into the wild, to help making the population grow.

But too bad not all seals can be released back into the wild. Because some of them are wounded or have eye problems.

The eye problems are not a big problem to find food, they can use their wishkers for that. But above the water, it is vital to have a good pair of eyes.
