Seals that have entered the loch from the sea.

**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Contacts coincide with years and seasons when seals are seen in the loch.
- Contacts are within the dive depths and sizes of seals.

## What would rule it out

- Contacts far deeper than seals dive, or when no seals are present.
