Seals in the River Thames might become the 'new normal'
Briefly

"We're currently seeing a sharp increase in seal sightings in London. Seals have long lived in the river... they seem to be more regularly exploring areas of London."
"Feeding seals could endanger them by attracting other predators... which has caused fatal accidents in the past."
"Seals are most vulnerable when ashore, as they come to land to sleep, digest food and give birth to pups. Disturbing them can cause them to stampede."
"Experts warned against repeating a tragic instance in 2021 when a seal... had to be put down after it was mauled by a dog."
