The discovery of the corpse of a seal this Wednesday near a level crossing in Roscoff (Finistère) challenged experts in this type of animal.
The body was found by a resident of this place yet located almost a kilometer from the nearest beach, that of the great strike.

No trace of injury
This configuration led specialists to wonder how the body of the seal had arrived on the spot.
The animal, which was visibly neither injured nor victim of a shock, was able to move on its own before succumbing.
It could also have been dropped off there as a joke, said the director of the Association for the Conservation of Marine Mammals and Birds, Sami Hassani.
The specialist also considered unrealistic the hypothesis that the animal would have been transported to the level crossing by a scavenger.
