• Resumen

  • It's a slasher film scenario playing out in nature. Harbor seals use their whiskers to follow underwater currents rippling away from the gills of fish so they can track down and kill their next victims. Until now it wasn't clear how seals locate and catch bottom-dwelling flatfish that hide beneath the sand.
