Moulting Grey Seal Pup

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).
This pup is moulting into the grey fur coat and needs a lot of rest as it stays for around 3 weeks (after mum left) and will have generally no food during this time.
