Two and a half months before writing this, a young adult grey seal washed up on a beach in Kent, says Liam Drew. Two days ago, it was removed from a freezer at London’s Natural History Museum and, today, I’m going to watch it being dissected. I’m currently wondering what exactly I’ll witness and looking at everyone on the Tube while thinking: ‘I bet you don’t have a date with a dead seal.’ My only guide is an email saying the museum’s staff will inspect the seal’s forelimbs and collect any parasites and plastic the animal contains.
