Grey Seal (Halichoerus grypus) - Donna Nook - Lincolnshire - England

It was a great privilege to get such an up close look at an animal that spends most of its life out to sea. For just a few weeks in late fall, pregnant females come ashore by the thousands in Donna Nook. Here they will give birth, fatten their newborn pups with milk, mate again, and head back out to sea. I was fortunate enough this day to see five seals give birth right in front of me. Mother and pup must establish a bond immediately or the pup will be abandoned. This particular pup is a couple of weeks old and and has a silky white coat of dense fur to get it through it's first weeks of life. Soon it will shed its fur for an adult coat and will set out to sea to fend for itself.
