To quell the rumors, US government scientists will attach cameras capable of recording underwater on the back of a series of seals. They will use the videos the seals use to prove that they do not undermine fishermen's livelihood. Even scientists want to broadcast videos to reality TV shows, the AP reported.

"Crittercams' , the name of the project of attaching a camera to the back of a lion seal, is an initiative of the National Geographic Society to protect them. Currently the number of seals in the waters around Hawaii is about under 1,100. children, but scientists fear they will disappear forever in this sea within 50 to 100 years.

"We will help the seals tell their life stories ," said Charles Littnan, head of the expert team at the Hawaii State Seal Research Program of the US National Fisheries Agency.

Kyler Abernathy, the remote image manager of the "Crittercams" project, said that the videos " master " seals will help fishermen dismiss unfounded doubts about seals.
