Family Time

Mom and pup enjoying the warming sun together.

 

Harbor seals need to haul out of the water regularly to rest and let their bodies warm up. They can't maintain body temperature if they stay in cold water all the time because of their small size and thin blubber layer.

 

The pup won't be weaned until around 4-6 weeks old.
