Title:

Seals Use Whiskers for Hunting, Study Finds

Url:

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0705_sealwhiskers.html

Description: Unlike some other marine animals, seals don't use "sonar" to hunt in murky water. How they find and track their prey when they cannot see has long puzzled scientists. Now researchers have discovered seals' secret food detector: their whiskers. Read about seals in this National Geographic News article.
