30、ds rarest seal(稀有海豹)uses hidden caves on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus to breed(繁殖)out of sight from humans. Scientists say the caves should now be protected to help the rare Mediterranean monk seals.Researchers from the University of Exeter and the society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT),
31、 set up cameras in eight caves in northern Cyprus to monitor the monk seal population. The cameras are started by movement, so they start recording when something passes by.

In the past, they used beaches along the north coast of Cyprus to breed but human activities such as tourism have gradually forced them to move elsewhere. In
33、2007, a survey identified 39 possible breeding caves. It was only in 2013, however, that a young seal was spotted in the area around the caves. This confirmation(证实)that seals were breeding in the area inspired the team to set up their special cameras in 2016. Knowing about these breeding caves will
