Singing young grey seal Justin, video

Usually, seals make hardly any sounds. However, young grey seal Justin, in the seal rehab of Ecomare museum on Texel island in the Netherlands, sings.

The seal was found while sick by musician Justin Segerink, and named Justin after the finder.

In the video, Justin musician tries to get Justin seal to sing along to a song on guitar, but does not succeed.

Basically, only young seals make sound. And Justin is growing up; singing less and less. His health is improving so well, that next week, he will be freed into the sea.
