Mystery of mass 'die-off' of seal pups in Namibia
Scientists are trying to find out why thousands of seal pups have been born dead at Pelican Point in Namibia. They've also found a number of undernourished and dying adult females.
A massive count and research is underway, but it's thought climatic changes may have made it more difficult for the mothers to reach and catch the fish they need.
