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.
This is a 10 week old wolf pup from the Haliburton Forest, just outside Haliburton, Ontario. The 9 adult wolves are captive and freely roam a 15 acre wooded enclosure that includes a large pond and forests. Photography is only through one-way glass which makes for a tough photo-shoot with any clarity.
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!
I had the pleasure of watching this young coyote pup for half an hour hunting for voles. Even at his young age he had all the killer instincts catching over 10 of them before he got full and just started playing with them.

A five-day old Hawaiian monk seal pup explores the shoreline a few feet from the safety of its mother. It is the tenth pup born on Oahu in 2024. Endemic to Hawaii, this species of monk seal was established in the archipelago millions of years before the present 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 recent survey by NOAA estimated 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. This young one appeared very puppy-like.

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.

Northern elephant seals are not presently endangered. At one time, however, this species was thought to have been hunted to extinction. They were presumed extinct by the 1880's, after being exploited by hunters and whalers seeking to use the animals' thick layer of blubber as an oil source. Now you can see Northern Elephants gathered on the beach in a "rookery" where the females give birth, the males fight for dominance, and the newborn pups try to stay out of the way.
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.
*we found this and it is perfect!
we needed something to give the dogs shade while we sat on the beach all day,
and I am sooo thrilled to find this small tent.
Lets hope it doesnt turn into a giant kite when the wind nabs it ;D
ha ha ha.
So we set it up in the house to get them used to this new structure. They seem to like it already :)
YAY!
*If anyone wants to know where I got it, just message me and I will tell you :)
and it was really reasonably priced.

Apparently, when elephant seal pups get separated from their mothers or are simply abandoned, they will seek and be accepted by another nursing mother. But apparently the mother only has enough milk for one, so it doesn't work out for the others in the long run, or if they all continue to nurse, it may not work out for any of them.
If you are wondering about that "E" on the female, so was I until contacting a docent at the colony: the "E" is part of a hair dye marking (which goes away with the next molt) to individually identify this seal, part of a study at another colony, possibly Ano Nuevo.

On the beach were resting seal pups. I think the green number is glued to his forehead. I read that somewhere that when they rescue a seal pup, they tag them before release. It's an odd thing to see

I wanted to finish the little Frodo series with a short video, but I can't get it to upload, then I found some old prints....

Following on from my recent close-up shots of the Grey Seal pup...
Once the pup had finished suckling he had a tender moment with his mum.
I was trying to keep the flavor of the original M249
Or you could convert it in to an old bi plain.

A young seal pup. You don't see many this young in January.
All my photos are taken with a 600mm telephoto lens, so I am a good distance away from all the seals.

Each year from late October to December, Donna Nook in Lincolnshire becomes one of the best places in the UK to witness the grey seal breeding season. This incredible natural event sees hundreds of grey seals returning to the dunes to give birth to their pups.
Female seals (cows) come ashore to deliver their adorable white-coated pups, while the much larger males (bulls) fight for dominance and the chance to mate. The pups, born with their distinctive fluffy coats, are nurtured by their mothers for about three weeks, during which they rapidly gain weight on their mother’s rich milk.
This annual spectacle draws nature lovers and photographers alike. It’s a chance to witness these amazing animals up close in their natural environment, all while respecting the conservation efforts that keep this habitat safe for them. Donna Nook’s viewing area ensures visitors can enjoy this unique experience without disturbing the seals.
