1/ Crabeater seals are the most abundant top predator in the Southern Ocean and probably the most numerous large wild mammals on earth. Because they live almost their entire lives amongst floating sea ice around #Antarctica, it’s difficult to count them – total population is an estimated 15 million.

Surge in marine heatwaves costs lives and billions in storm damage – study
Floods, whale strandings and coral bleaching all more likely, say researchers, as 10% of ocean hits record high temperatures in 2023-24
