Seal pup season! These are all on the inaccessible beaches East of Carregwastad, viewed from the clifftop.

Spending time with these New Zealand fur seal pups is one of the greatest joys for me.
Curious, playful, and full of personality—each one is a reminder of what we’re protecting.

The value of #iron for a #seal: On the remote #SableIsland, #WHOI researchers are determining if an iron boost gives #GraySeal pups a head start https://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/feature/the-value-of-iron-for-a-seal-sable-island-horses/

"Most #SealPups don’t make it through their first year, and the researchers want to figure out whether higher iron intake makes a difference in the pups’ survival... Everyone has been focused on the abundance of prey and how many calories #seals are able to take in, but maybe just as important is getting the iron that they need"

We had a whole philosophical argument about whether the joke here required the photo to be a selfie. It is.
