Grey seal pups are born with a white coat known as a 'lanugo'.
The mother seals only suckle their pups for 17 to 23 days. Her milk contains up to 50 to 60% fat, ten times more than a Jersey cow’s milk. This helps the pups gain weight rapidly and develop a layer of blubber. Pups go from their birthweight of around 28 lb. (13 kg) to 100 lb. (45 kg) in just three weeks. Once the pup has suckled the mother leaves, never to return.
Pups then stay behind on the beach alone for around another three weeks to moult their white coats and grow a shorter adult waterproof coat. During this time they fast, living off their fat reserves. When they are ready the pups go into the sea and teach themselves to fish.
If the pup is a bull it could live for up to 25 years, whereas cows live for 35 years.

I hadn't seen them for almost 10 days.......but tonight I watched as
mom herded the two pups back to their first den (under my deck!)
This handsome pup has really grown!
This is a photo from a couple of months back on our visit to Donna Nook. There was also some seal pups that had been born while we were there and many that were just days old.
A pair of former CP Rail SW1200RS pups switch the CAMI plant. After a day of chasing an RS-18u / FP9A combo between Putnam and Woodstock finding this pair switching CAMI was the icing on the cake.
The first of many 'Snowdogs by the Sea' is 'Process Pup'. This Snowdog wears an abstract pattern in colours inspired by the colour printing process. Designed by Josh Ford, who creates art that focuses on repetition, replication and disorientation through the use of abstract pattern and colour.
A mother is a pup’s best pillow. Galápagos sea lion (Zalophus wollebaeki) pup resting its chin on its mother’s flipper. Why is the sand not black, like the lava? Because it is comprised of the pulverized skeletons of sea creatures (crabs, corals, etc.).
