IF you think that the seals beat the fins only in the aquarium, maybe turning a ball on the muzzle, you are mistaken. That gesture that makes them so pleasant to our eyes in reality is actually a behavior that has little to do with our approval. It shows a video in which for the first time one sees (and feels in a distinct way) a male grey seal, wild (Halichoerus grypus) beat the fins several times, attracting the attention of some females that swim around.
the sound produced by The “clapping” was taken up in a forceful and clear way with cameras and microphones, divers in the waters of the Farne islands, near Northumberland, (Australia), during the reproductive season in 2017. And it is not a case, as explained by the biologists at Monash University who have studied the behavior shown in a research published in Marine Mammal Science. That noise like the discharge of a rifle can be used to keep the distance from other males looking for a partner. Nothing to do, in short, with the applause that we ourselves are accustomed to do in the audience to please others.
