And now time for a heartwarming story about a texting seal (yes seriously). An orphan newborn seal named Victoria was recently rescued from rough seas near the island of Tinos.After a short stay with Society for the Study and Protection of the Mediterranean Seal (Mom) the little mite will be returning to the big drink on Saturday equipped with a souvenir from her human rescuers, a mobile phone.
As you might expect, it isn’t a Nokia N95 what with sea based mammals having little cause to watch YouTube videos and all. The device will merely be a transmitter that sends regular texts to Victoria’s rescuers, letting them know where she is and how deep she has been diving.
According to one MOm staff member, text tech is considered to be more reliable than satellite monitoring. The Mediterranean Sea must have great reception.
