Today is International Day of the Seal — a day to celebrate these remarkable marine mammals and the incredible adaptations that help them survive in the ocean.

Did you know a seal’s whiskers can detect tiny movements in the water with extraordinary precision? These remarkable natural sensors help seals navigate and understand the world around them beneath the waves. Their amazing design has even inspired engineers developing smarter underwater sensors and robots.

Wildlife has so much to teach us.
