A unique video from a Polish beach has netizens in awe.

A unique video from the Baltic Sea has gone viral on social media. It was recorded near the beach in Mikoszewo, Stegna commune, Pomeranian Voivodeship. The video shows Baltic seals basking on a sandbar.

A seal video is taking the internet by storm. Internet users are thrilled.

The impressive number of seals captured on the video is noteworthy – nearly 800 of them. "Seals from Mikoszewo. A sweet family," the video's authors wrote.

The clip quickly gained immense popularity online. The Facebook post was swarming with comments. "Seriously?! Isn't this a photoshop? Are there that many seals in Poland?"; "At first I thought they were dead fish. I was a bit relieved when I read they were baby seals."; "I've never seen anything like this, it's hard to look away," commented internet users.

Seals on Baltic beaches

According to information from the Seal Center – Marine Station of the University of Gdańsk, wild seals in Poland occur exclusively in the vicinity of the Mewia Łacha reserve on Sobieszewska Island, located at the mouth of the Vistula River. The sight of such large herds is not uncommon in this area – groups of up to 900 individuals have been reported.

The entire Baltic seal population numbers nearly 30,000 individuals. The largest concentrations of grey seals occur along the western coast of Estonia, the southwestern coast of Finland, and northern Sweden.

It's worth noting that the mammals' return to the Baltic Sea was made possible thanks to years of conservation efforts conducted by both state institutions and nature conservation organizations. These efforts focused primarily on protecting breeding grounds, reducing pollution, and improving water quality in the Baltic Sea.

It's also worth remembering that seals are wild animals. If you spot them on the beach, keep your distance and don't try to touch them or take pictures with them.
