#humpday #Repost natgeo ・・・ Photograph by paulnicklen // A newborn harp seal #pup rests on the sea ice with a belly full of milk that has some of the highest fat content of any species. This pup is so full of milk that it can’t seem to tuck its tongue back in its mouth. Even though it is -20c, this pup is fat, warm and satiated. Harp seals, like many seal species depend on sea ice for their survival. As global climate change reduces the extent, duration, and thickness of sea ice, these seal species are threatened with extinction. Reducing our carbon footprint on this #Earth is the only hope for the survival of all pagophilic (ice loving) species. #seal #climatechangeisreal #nature #instagood #tbt #family #love #beauty #cute #natureloves #photooftheday #climatechange #photography #animals
