Found on a Broom seedpod. Unfortunately I don't have a clue who it belongs to. Any assistance on ID gratefully received.
You might not know it from this shot, but our two "girls" were the very best of friends and of course playmates too.

A Harbor seal pup (Phoca vitulina) resting on the rocks at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
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.
Taken from behind the fence at Donna Nook LWT, Lincolnshire.
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.
Three CN SW1200RS "pups" cruise westward amid a sea of kerosene switch lamps with a transfer thru downtown Toronto the morning of September 23, 1978 as a eastbound CPR transfer caboose distant nears the Spadina Ave bridge.
Pup's name is Tango Hombre -- as in "Tango Man" -- but with the alternate spelling of "tengo hambre" (which suits his appetite).
We spent the longest time coming up with his name, and had just about settled on Tango Jack. We really liked the sound of Tango (two distinctive syllables, with strong consonants and long vowels), and we liked the initials TJ (after Thomas Jefferson, a long story), and the idea was to use the NATO phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie...) but when we looked up J and found out it was Juliet, we had to adapt. So that's the first half of the story, and we even filled out his papers with that name. But, after further discussion, the pun won out. His papers were changed, and they are in the mail. Finally and officially: he's Tango Hombre.

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.
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!
Reading and Northern train PNPV (Port Clinton to Pottsville) is doing a bit of switching on the west end of West Cressona Yard at about MP 1.1 on what is now known as the RBMN's Minersville Branch.
The rails through here are among the oldest in the country having opened around 1831 as the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad. Built to haul caul from above Minersville to a connection with the Schuylkill Canal it was animal powered until 1847 and then ultimately fell into the fold of the expanding Philadelphia and Reading in 1864. For the next 112 years this was the property of the Reading until that bankrupt road was folded into Conrail which operated this trackage for 14 years until selling it to the expanding Reading Blue, Mountain and Northern Railroad in 1990.
The town of Cressona was laid out as a railroad town in the 1840s and remains an important hub of operations for the RBMN to this day. The brick depot in the background was built by the RDG around 1911 and remains in railroad use as an office for the railroad's signal department, though I'm not sure when the last regular passenger train called here, but my guess would be sometime in the early 1930s.
Leading the train are two EMD end cab switchers from decidedly different eras, RBMN 1542 (MP15DC blt. Apr. 1982 as Southern 2426) and 803 (SW8 blt. Sep. 1951 as Lehigh Valley 270)

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.
Arctocephalus pusillus
This pup was photographed in Narooma, NSW, Australia, near the Montague Island seal colony.
The area isn't regarded as a breeding colony and is 1000 kilometres north of where most pups are reared, in the Bass Strait. It seems that at least a few pups are being born this far north! This is consistent with the good news that the Australian population of Fur Seals is on the increase and back from the brink of extinction.
Ano Nuevo State Park, California
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.
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.
