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).
When the grey seal pups are still in their white fur coat called Lanugo, their mum is not far away, and the pups rest or feed, though they do start to explore their surroundings.
