Part 5/9:
As the expedition progresses, Behrend and his team deploy technology to monitor the seals remotely. Meanwhile, he dives into an undersea cave that serves as a refuge for seals, documenting vibrant marine life burgeoning within. However, despite his hopes, he finds no monk seals, but rather other fascinating marine creatures, such as sponges and anemones.
Frustration builds for Behrend, as the expedition progresses with mixed results. But soon, a significant breakthrough occurs when they manage to observe a rare and intimate moment: a mother and her newly born monk seal pup. This encounter brings Behrend some of the most exhilarating footage of his career, illustrating the delicate connections of life in the Mediterranean.
