Baby Seal is Born..






A new baby monk seal was born on the North Shore. The Species is extremely endangered, so as part of the Response team, I get to help- which is so very important when a new pup is born- the survival of the pup is key to the survival of the species....So far we have had a fish hook caught in it's lip and a pile of ocean debris float into the small pool area that they have been using as their temporary nursery. It has been fun to talk to the public about the seals, and watch the baby grow- watching the interaction between Mother and Pup is so amazing- and all in the wild.
