The Harp Seal's Race Against Time - Ep. 5 | Wildlife: The Big Freeze

We head away from land onto the ice floes of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where thousands of harp seals are giving birth to tiny yellow pups. The adults have come so far south from their feeding grounds that this forms a unique oasis away from their main predator, the polar bear. But there’s a catch. From the minute the pups are born, they enter a race against time. In one of the shortest mammal weaning periods, the pups have just 10 days to drink all the milk possible and start swimming before their mothers abandon them on melting ice. Our changing climate means the stakes couldn’t be higher. If the ice melts before they learn to swim, this generation of pups will drown.

    Once they are born, harp seal pups have only 10 days under their mother's care before they are abandoned. What are your thoughts on this race against time?

We need to replace capitalism.

    Such a beautiful message at the end. We all need to come together to save this beautiful planet of ours and thousands of creatures like this that reside in it.

    This guy must be an animal whisperer... He gets up so close to the animals and they are so comfortable with him. Amazing shots!

    Yeah spend 3 months shooting footage for a 50 min documentary and you'll get some unusual looking stuff. It's just editing at that point.

    if you lay down, a baby harp seal would just come to sniff you. so it's not that hard in this case

    How beautiful! Made me want to cry seeing the mom leave her beautiful pup. And like you say there is so much more than saving them. It's our planet we need to do something about. So glad something is being done. Really nothing is impossible. Even the word says it, I'm-Possible.

    Seals always sound so helpless and distressed on ice, also the way they have to waddle to move around on their belly

    He’s RIGHT, seals are one of the CUTEST BABY ANIMALS, that little cry and ONLY 10 days to learn complete self-care. (I’m making my kids watch this) Amazing cinematography!!

    Bertie Gregory, thank you. For making sure that millions know the impacts they have. we all have. And the opportunities before us to change. Thank you for proving the oneness between all living beings. and thank you for going to any lengths out there, while im going to any lengths in school, for the same cause. You bring me hope, ...every night, for 9-15min intervals before bed. 🙏💞🌍🌄🏔️✨🌏🌱🌍🕊️🙌 I just hope others are taking these to even a fraction of the heart that you do... and taking the small daily actions that will lead to life saving miracles for us all. 💞🙏🌱
