Without experience, it is almost impossible for an untrained person to spot an entangled individual in a herd of a couple of hundred identical seals. We look for specific marks on a seal’s neck or body, which are usually caused by entanglement. In this case, a tight rubber gasket had created a clear impression of the animal’s fur. Entanglement-spotting is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.
