Gray seals may sense their own blood oxygen levels The seals’ ability to detect the amount of oxygen in their blood may help them make diving decisions and avoid drowning.

“Gray seals may possess a secret sense that helps them survive at sea.
The marine mammals adjusted their time spent underwater based on the amount of oxygen in the air they breathed before diving”
