I visited Ravenscar at Robin Hoods Bay today to see the Grey Seals who have Pups at this time of year. Nothing quite tugs the heartstrings like those big, dark eyes!
I’ve never seen the pups before- what a treat! Yellow-bellied marmots, Shasta Valley Wildlife Area, California
There were reports of them which I didn't believe since in the last 25 yrs I have not seen one here. I was proven wrong and saw mom with two young pups. Isle Lake Alberta. Happy Canada Day!

Along the coast of Norfolk here at Winterton Beach a number of seal pups have succumbed to the treacherous sea conditions.....
Labrador pup 4 months old. He was challenged by the camera, to him a big eye. Not scared for anything, just exploring a photographer laying on the ground :-)

With a new six-axle restriction on the former Lehigh Valley from Pittston to Mehoopany, PA, Reading & Northern job PIME/MEPI has been seeing some interesting power lately in the former of GP30's and SW8's. With the GP30's in passenger service this day, "pups" 800 and 801, of DLW and LV heritage respectively, powered the Mehoopany turn. Here, MEPI is seen returning east to Pittston as he passes through Falls, PA along the Susquehanna River. Thanks BP for the tip.
Seal Pup. Taken on the beach, North of the mouth of the River Ythan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Taken with a 400mm lens & the pup was quite relaxed with my presence.
Harbour Seal pups gain weight quickly on their mother's fat rich (around40%) milk and are weaned at 2-6 weeks at which point mothers leave them to fend for themselves. The mother has lost 50% of her body weight by then and must feed herself.
I saw my first pack of wild dogs in Selous, now Nyerere, almost twenty years ago. In February this year I made a return visit in the hope of seeing some more dogs. We had a good sighting on my second day and found the dogs post hunt looking for a nice place to rest. We returned to the spot once the day trippers had gone and spent some quality time watching the pups play.

I'm looking forward to heading back to Reading and Northern country soon. You never know what you might see. Here's one that's been sitting around a while. The light is far from ideal but the subject is pretty cool so it's perfect for a middle of the night posting!
Reading and Northern train NRRB (North Reading roustabout) has five cars trailing three classic EMD end cab switchers, RBMN 1548, 803, and 1542. SW1500 1548 in the lead is right at home here at MP 76 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.
They are on track 2 and track 1 in the foreground is relatively new, having been installed in conjunction with the CTC installation and new interlocking they are rolling through that is named MULLER after RBMN founder, owner, and CEO. They paused for a few minutes waiting for permission to proceed north to work in Port Clinton. Engineer Chip Allen graciously put on a show accelerating from the stop for the few of us trackside fans!

Grey seals return every Autumn between late October and early December to give birth and mate. The bulls mate with the cows, after the cows have given birth to a single pup,
After mating,having fattened up the pup on their fat rich milk sufficiently for the pup to survive until it also returns to te sea, the female returns to the sea. The fertilised egg does not start developing until much later so the birth will be at the same time the following year i.e. an 11 month gestation period
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.

I went to Ballantrae Bay, after lunch, today. This beautiful little guy was lying on gravel on the beach, looking sad, lost and lonely... I thought he had slipped from the rocks, behind, and couldn’t get back into the sea. Some people (three!) were very concerned so I called the Scottish SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) who immediately dispatched an officer to the scene.
The officer called me, a couple of hours later, saying she couldn’t find the pup...I gave very explicit directions, and she arrived at the place I had been, earlier. It seems the tide had come in and, either, the pup took off into the sea, or his mother came to collect him after feeding, all day.
I checked on the University of Google (!) and it appears that after four weeks, the seal cows abandon their babies!!! I was aghast!
I really hope this poor wee soul isn’t as old as four weeks, or that he is maybe six or seven weeks and can fend for himself...U of G also said that after being weaned at four weeks, the pups live off their fat reserves, for quite some time.
Nature, eh? Beautiful but brutal...
Come on, wee sweetie - you can do it!

After what seemed like weeks of rain and clouds, these pups are enjoying the morning rays. A fifth kit is hidden behind scratchy.

A Harbor seal pup (Phoca vitulina) resting on the rocks at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
After many hours of patient and diligent tracking and stalking in the most inhospitable of conditions imaginable I finally caught up with and managed to photograph this young seal in it's native habitat. (The Natural History Museum London, cooling filter and weather effect added later in Photoshop.)
