We waited patiently near this termite mound, now the den of a family of banded mongoose, until the curious pups finally appeared. Masai Mara, Kenya.
At the beginning of the year I took my boys on our customary annual visit to a big seal colony on the East coast, to see the season's pups. Grey and Harbour seal pups shelter among the dunes, where they are suckled, and eventually moult the white fluffy coats they are born with. There are fences to keep the seals safe from people (and dogs), which are important both ways: you do not want to be bitten by these animals. Every year, a number of pups choose to rest right against the fence, which means you can get some very close portraits. You can see the fence reflected in this individual's eye, and perhaps one of my boys too!

Thanks for all your visits, faves, and comments. Much appreciated.
You might not know it from this shot, but our two "girls" were the very best of friends and of course playmates too.
Red Wolf pups learning about the world around them in the captive breeding program at Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma, WA, which is working hard to bring this species back from the brink of extinction. From their website, and Wikipedia: "The red wolf had nearly vanished from the wild in the 1970s, reduced to just 14 animals. But thanks to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and other groups, this all-American animal has been brought back from the brink of extinction. By 1980, there were just 14 pure wolves in the wild, due to predator control and coyote interbreeding. These were brought to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium as part of the Species Survival Plan (SSP), managed by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums. Today more than 40 approved facilities work together as part of the Red Wolf SSP to ensure red wolf survival. The zoo population has grown to about 256 wolves, but wild populations are still facing big challenges....
Since 1987, red wolves have been released into northeastern North Carolina, where they roam 1.7 million acres. These lands span five counties (Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell, Washington, and Beaufort) and include three national wildlife refuges, a U.S. Air Force bombing range, and private land. The red wolf recovery program is unique for a large carnivore reintroduction in that more than half of the land used for reintroduction lies on private property. Approximately 680,000 acres (2,800 km2) are federal and state lands, and 1,002,000 acres (4,050 km2) are private lands.
Beginning in 1991, red wolves were also released into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in eastern Tennessee.[90] However, due to exposure to environmental disease (parvovirus), parasites, and competition (with coyotes as well as intraspecific aggression), the red wolf was unable to successfully establish a wild population in the park. Low prey density was also a problem, forcing the wolves to leave the park boundaries in pursuit of food in lower elevations. In 1998, the FWS took away the remaining red wolves in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, relocating them to Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in eastern North Carolina. Other red wolves have been released on the coastal islands in Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina as part of the captive breeding management plan. St. Vincent Island in Florida is currently the only active island propagation site.

A photograph I took last autumn. I've often found that the young pups will engage with you a little when you are watching them (despite having your face hidden by your camera). This one was really enjoying playing with this plant stem.

Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.
Fox pups are using one another for target practice to perfect their mousing skills. They are spending more time in the woods and following their mother on short trips away from the den. I've encountered them several times along the driveway and the mother fox is always the first one to see me. Every time, she barks a warning and sends the pups running full speed back to their den.
RBMN PVPN is making their final maneuver of the day putting their pup into one of the Port Clinton power tracks. In the distance SD38 2003 sits in the clear with the yard job.
One of the so, so adorable grey seal pups that I enjoyed watching and photographing at Mull of Kintyre over the weekend, with Philip Price of Lochvisions.
We came across this seal pup on the beach at Forvie. Photo is cropped as didn't want to go too close. Initially it was just lying very still and we thought it may be dead or injured as there was a dead seal just a wee bit further along the beach. Thankfully this one rolled over as a wave came in so we could see he was fine.
First time out of the Den for this Groundhog pup, in my backyard. We have a total of 4 pups this year. This picture lacks scale, but the pup is about the size of a Grapefruit.

Marmotton fraîchement sorti de son terrier, dans ma cour arrière. J'en ai aperçu quatre au total. C'est difficile à dire sur cette photo, mais le petit a la taille d'un pamplemousse!
Every year, I look forward to that short timeframe when the pups emerge from their burrows. The day I shot this, it was VERY windy, so I upped the ISO so I could have a high shutter speed. I had the camera sitting on my drivers window on a beanbag and the wind buffeted my truck. Sheesh! I got home and and boy were the shots noisy. I had *just* purchased Topaz Denoise and decided to try it for the first time. Geez it did marvelously. Now I'm not so sorry I spent the money for the software.
Also, I shot this just before I got busted AGAIN shooting pups. I work on KAFB and know the rules about what is verboten to shoot. No worries, I don't care about base stuff, I just care about prairie dogs and owls. Friday, someone called me in as a potential threat. Two police cars and an armored vehicle came to check me out! Eventually they let me go saying it was OK so long as my camera was pointed to the ground. They apologized for scaring away the animals.
This day, Sunday, after I warned the gate guard to tell security, a cop came by. More friendly, but he said I had to leave period. Both times, I offered to show the officers the photos on my card. This guy was impressed by the quality of the shots. I'm not bragging about my shots, but duh ( :-) a 500 mm lens does take a bit better shot than a cell phone!!!! And that is kinda the whole point! :-)
I know the officers are just doing their jobs. I am still working how to get a "get out of jail free" card, though for the 2 weeks or so that I photograph the prairie dog pups. I'm not so interested the PDs when they're adults.
A five-day old Hawaiian monk seal pup stays close to mom on the shoreline. The tenth pup born on Oahu in 2024. After a morning feeding, mom and pup relax on the beach in the warming sun. Endemic to Hawaii, this species of monk seal was established in the archipelago millions of years before the human populated main volcanic islands emerged above sea level. The original seal-occupied islands have since receded to coral atolls and are now part of Papahānaumokuākea. A recently updated survey estimate by NOAA indicates a small, but encouraging, population increase to 1,570 individuals throughout the Hawaiian archipelago. However, Hawaiian monk seals remain endangered and among the rarest of marine mammals. The Hawaiian name for a monk seal is ilio holo i ka uaua meaning dog that runs in rough seas.

The start of another project...
I'm planning on spending as much time as I can with a colony of Grey Seals through the Winter. The project started last weekend with my first visit to find this cute young pup.
I kept a good distance away so as to allow him to carry on rolling around and scratching. Mum was just to the right of this image and she slept most of the time.
Riding Mountain Park - This particular day was overcast and rainy but I was lucky enough that this coyote Pup came out to pose for a few photos before carrying on with foraging!
Following right on NRFF's block was Reading and Northern train NRRB (North Reading roustabout) with five cars trailing three classic EMD end cab switchers, RBMN 1548, 803, and 1542. SW1500 1548 is right at home here as they approach the Main Street crossing at MP 66.3 on the old Reading mainline. It was built in Aug. 1969 as RDG 2768, trailing 803 is an SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as LV 270, and 1542 is an MP15 blt. Apr. 1982 as SOU 2426.

“Born to dig” is this dog’s rallying cry. He’s super-active, super-smart and, in the wrong hands, super-destructive. The Jack Russell (Parson Russell if you live on the AKC side of the fence) does best when he is kept busy hunting rats on a farm, going riding with his owner, or competing in terrier races and earthdog tests.

Our three pups turned 15 today. From right, Cholie, Salty and in back Frodo. They are joined by their older sister Sadie front left. And we're thinking of and missing their litter mate, our dear, sweet Ruby Darlin'. These are the last dogs we raised from puppies, we still call them "the pups."
I have to say it is not such an easy thing to get these dogs to pose for a photo. We will celebrate with a party and "pup-cakes" this weekend.
BTW, if anyone is thinking of criticizing me, those are spruce cones back there, not dog turds. ;-) However, other criticisms are welcome.
Last Tuesday I had the good fortune to witness and photograph the birth of an Elephant Seal Pup. From my first shot to the birth it only took about 1 1/2 minutes! As soon as the baby emerged a flock of gulls arrived to 'clean up' the afterbirth and photo bombed many of my shots, but I was still able to document the whole process. My favorite shot is of the pup (totally covered with sand) seeing mom for the first time. It is a sweet moment with both mom and pup gazing at each other with curled pink tongues.
I just learned a few things about the potted palm tree on my upstairs deck. Unless I'm mistaken, it's a "sago palm." (Which -- in spite of its name and its appearance -- is actually not a palm at all; it's a cycad, one of the most ancient of plants that has been around since prehistoric times.) The beautiful new growths coming up from the base under the soil are called pups. They can be removed gently from the mother tree, then potted, and will grow. I also learned that all parts of the plant are poisonous to humans and animals if ingested, and the seeds especially have a high level of the toxin cycasin.
