processed more than 1,700 images of over 400 seals and published its findings in April in a scientific journal.<\/p>\n<p>Harbor seals were once in danger of local extinction as they were commercially hunted. However, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which was enacted in 1972, prohibited the capturing of marine mammals in the U.S., saving them from endangerment. <\/p>\n<p><em>With Post Wire Services<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
