Seals star on own web site
Aug. 26 - New technology is giving scientists and wildlife fans the chance to observe one of Lake Baikal's shyest inhabitants, the 'nerpa' seal as it is known locally.
In order to make these mysterious and rarely-seen creatures more accessible to scientists and nature-lovers without disturbing them, Irkutsk's 'Baikal Museum' has launched a unusual project - to put seals on the web in real time.
