Grey Seal Family

Grey Seals are one out of two seal subspecies, which are native to the UK. This seal subspecies is born in a white non-waterproof fur coat, and will moult into the first adult fur coat after mum leaves them (when they will be 17-23 days of age).
While mum is looking after and is feeding her pup, she is not interest in a male. However, male grey seals will try to bring themselves into the best position to be there when she is ready to mate (usually happens before the female returns to the sea for food)
