Before leaving, he needed to observe how the seals interacted in their natural environment.
The situation was quite good; few of these young seals had died. Hai Bo, as the big brother of the group, responsibly led the younger ones in practicing fishing.
These two chubby little ones, despite their plump bodies, were very agile, darting toward their chosen target in the shallow sea, with a flick of the head, a delicious fish in their mouth.
In contrast, the slender, streamlined younger sister appeared much clumsier; usually, when she arrived, the fish had already gone, wagging her tail without leaving a tear.
At the end of the three-day observation period, although the younger sister was clumsy in hunting, fortunately, she had three reliable (or not) brothers to help, plus the feeding from two foster mothers, and she seemed healthier and more lively than when living in the pool.
