Today let's take a look at
these adorable little cuties
they grow a month
newborn seal pups can't swim
even can't crawl freely
without mother's protection
seal pups can't survive
but little seals can within one month
complete molting, weaning, and diving growth
then they can leave mother's shelter
and live independently

eating milk encounter 'accidents'
some seal pups weight
can increase three times in 10 days
seal mom's milk fat content is very high
is the guarantee of the rapid growth of the seal pups
they need to eat five six times a day
but sometimes 'accidents' happen
Huh? Where's mom?
△Winter feeding in the ocean
Mom accidentally fell into the sea
'' head cried bitterly! The first swimming lesson swam a marathon
under mom's encouragement
seal baby's first departure from ice floe
but after swimming for a while
the little seal swam back to the surface
maybe because the sea is really too cold

Why is my first swimming lesson a marathon?

The first migration is important 'claiming territory'
during seal migration
finding suitable rocks is key
first migrating seal pups
must occupy a piece of land before dark
some rocks are not spacious and dry
other seals don't like it
but the little seal doesn't care about being picky
a day's trek makes it exhausted
finally has a place to rest

This is the way of love
on the vast sea
finding a suitable mate is not easy
some male seals once they target
will follow them like shadows
don't give up, truly persistent pursuer
look at them 'pursue relentlessly'
This is the way of love, right?

Male seals are truly passionate, bitten once doesn't leave
