Part 4/9:
Days later, the expedition shifts focus to the elusive monk seal. These creatures have faced alarming declines in their population, primarily due to habitat changes caused by human intrusion. With Vassilis Kouroutos, an expert on monk seals, Behrend travels to the Alonnisos National Maritime Park for a chance to film these rare animals.
Their search for the seals is akin to hunting for a needle in a haystack—yet luck is on their side when they discover the intriguing presence of a male monk seal in a cave. Behrend observes quietly, but they soon notice indications that the seal might be injured, further complicating their efforts.
