Natural Monument Spotted Seal Found in Seosan...Eventually, it died.

A spotted seal, a natural monument and second-class endangered wild life, was found in Seosan, North Chungcheong Province, but died in the end.

Seosan City said residents found a spotted seal near the dock and died while moving it to an aquarium in Gyeonggi Province after emergency measures were taken to prevent exhaustion.

Spotted seals have lived on the west coast of Korea, but their population is known to be gradually decreasing due to marine pollution, warming, and development.
