Breeding season has arrived for the Cape fur seals, mothers have started to give birth to the cutest little bundles of fur seal pups. For the first week mom and pup needs to build a strong relationship to recognize each others smell and sound amongst tens of thousands of seals so that when mom goes fishing she can find Phillip when she returns. For the first 7 weeks seal pups spend their time on land thereafter it takes them another 7 weeks to learn how to swim. Difficult to believe when you see what amazing swimmers they are after a few months. Itโs an indescribable feeling being in their natural environment and watching them interact undisturbed by anything. #2023
