Abstract

Two deep-sea video recordings and six surface sightings of elephant seals ingesting prey were collated. Each observation either supported or suggested an alternative to behaviours derived from digital time-depth profiles. The tendency for elephant seals to surface following the capture of large prey suggests precipitous drops in stomach temperature at the sea-surface, which have been recorded and interpreted as drinking events, more likely represent the ingestion of large prey items.

直接在海上观察象海豹(米隆加种)，以帮助解释数字生物记录数据

研究人员整理了两段深海录像和六次海象吞食猎物的水面目击记录。每个观测结果都支持或建议了一种替代数字时间-深度剖面的行为。海象在捕获大型猎物后会浮上水面，这表明海洋表面胃温度急剧下降，这被记录下来并解释为饮酒事件，更有可能代表摄入了大型猎物。
