Love Island’s upcoming beach dates could prove perilous: Cape Town residents are on high alert after a bob of toxic fish-crazed seals attacked bathers.
Producers will have to ensure their romantic breaks from the villa are a safe distance from the colony of brain-damaged animals.
Experts believe the seals have become unusually aggressive after digesting a toxic acid produced by marine algae, consumed by the fish they then eat. It is blamed for a mass death among the Cape Peninsula seal population, and for leaving survivors with brain damage.
