MOSCOW—About 2,500 seals have been found dead on the Caspian Sea coast in southern Russia, officials said Sunday.
Authorities in the Russian province of Dagestan said it was unclear why the mass die-off happened but that it was likely due to natural causes.
Regional officials initially reported Saturday that 700 dead seals were found on the coast, but the Dagestan division of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment later raised the figure to about 2,500.
Zaur Gapizov, head of the Caspian Environmental Protection Center, said in a statement that the seals likely died a couple of weeks ago. He added that there was no sign that they were killed or caught in fishing nets.

Tastes like chicken.
Toooo cold for even a Seal in this Global Warming
I have heard that it taste similar to beef or mutton with a slight salty taste................
I hear Russian troops raped them before clubbing them...
Depends upon whom you ask.
..Seal meat texture is like a fish, and it tastes like beefsteak or liver. It is dark meat, which is a bit gamey to taste.
..The taste of seal meat is distinctive. You can compare it to a beef steak with a hint of liver or a hybrid concoction of ahi tuna and moose.
..The seal is wild and similar to game meat, such as deer or moose, with a slight iodine taste. Seal meat is very lean and contains low fat.
They meant “empty felx seal tubes” but misspelled the title
They were killed or caught in fishing nets.
