Photo: Amazing Animals
Harp Seals are pretty amazing animals who are well equipped to withstand the brutally cold conditions of the Atlantic Ocean during winter.
The female Harp Seals are amazing animals indeed, they can tell which pup is their own by scent alone and will reject all other pups. Heather and Paul McCartney visited the ice floes on the Gulf of St Lawrence in Canada to bring attention the the brutal harp seal hunts taking place each year usually beginning in March. This mother seal would pop her head up through the hole in the ice to check on and nurse her baby.
