Hello there 👋 Harp seal pups (Pagophilus groenlandicus) are nursed by their mother for only the first 12 days of their life. They are then left alone for several weeks, leaving them vulnerable to predators and unable to hunt for food. #EarthCapture by sandra._photography . . . . #bbcearth #seals #harpseals #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #amazinganimals #naturelovers #earth #earthlovers
