Female harp seals give birth to pups on moving ice floes and suckle for just 10 to 14 days. During the last few days of this short period, they encourage the pup into the water to help them learn to swim. Bertie Gregory caught this moment on camera in Canada’s Gulf of Saint Lawrence. #MothersDay | National Geographic

Cutest little fluff-ball 🥹 🤍 Harp seal pups (Pagophilus groenlandicus) absorb a lot of sunlight and stay warm with the help of their long white fur until they develop their blubber. After they are three to four weeks old, they shed their white fur. #FrozenPlanet2 | BBC Earth

Harp seals get real fat — real fast. Thanks to seal mik being more than 50 per cent fat (the richest in the world), seal pups can pack on two kilograms a day. Stay to the end to see a delightfully chunky baby harp seal! Watch the documentary Wild Canadian Weather: Cold (streaming free on CBC Gem) and see how harp seals handle cold Arctic temps. 📺 | CBC Docs
