61 dead seals found along Lithuania's Baltic coast in May, June


VILNIUS, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Sixty-one dead seals have been found along Lithuania's Baltic Sea coast in May and June, Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT) reported on Tuesday.

"This compares to 46 in the entire 12-month period last year. We are seeing the number of dead seals rising each year. Why this is happening is something I'm still questioning," said Jurgita Gustaitiene, head of the animal care centre Nuaras of Lithuania.
