China’s Liaodong Bay experiences a surgein Spotted Seals

The endangered spotted seal population in northeast China’s Liaodong Bay is experiencing a surge as the warmer days of spring arrive.
Located in Panjin City in Liaoning Province, Liaodong Bay is recognized as one of the world’s eight key breeding habitats for spotted seals, a species accorded first-class national protection in China.
During winter, spotted seals undertake a remarkable migration across the Bohai Strait to continue their breeding activities in the ice-covered expanses of Liaodong Bay as temperature rises.
