Ten years of public sightings show that large marine mammals are regularly found in the River Thames.
The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has received records of 2,732 animals over that period. Seals were the most common animal seen, with many spotted around London's Canary Wharf, probably because many people spot them from its skyscrapers. In addition, the public reported 444 porpoises and dolphins on the river, and 49 whales.
