We're trying to stay pretty much as far away from the pup as we can.Beautiful hand painted watercolor toucan clipart graphics with floral elements. It's not like dogs or sea lions that show affection for their young. “As cute and cuddly as they are, they are pretty feisty. “No, we don't cuddle the seals,” Sturniolo says. Meanwhile, the Zoo will provide updates through its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.Īs adorable as the pup is, neither Kara or Sturniolo will be giving it any seal cuddles. Visitors should be able to see her this spring. This pup is not on public display yet and isn't ready to be introduced to the rest of the Zoo's small group of seals. As long as we have space, and a place to send them, we will probably keep breeding them.” Our last pup that was born in 2014 just went to the Louisville Zoo. “We also have to consider what zoos are available to take them. “That's one of the reasons why we like being a breeding facility,” she says. The National Zoo is one of only 12 zoos that exhibit gray seals, according to Sturniolo. All the fish we get is sustainably sourced.” “Herring, capelin, mackerel, butterfish and they also get squid. “They get a variety of fish,” says Sturniolo. After that, she will switch over to the same diet that the other seals at the Zoo enjoy. Gray seal milk is about 60 percent fat, allowing the pup to pack on weight quickly during those three weeks. “The pup only nurses for three weeks and then she will separate from Kara,” Sturniolo says. Even the mothers contribute surprisingly little. This is Gunther and Kara's second pup together, but male gray seals do not play a role in rearing the young. The pair were recommended for breeding together by scientists who manage a species protection plan that prevents inbreeding or hybridization between subspecies. Her father, Gunther, was sent from Los Angeles. Her mother, Kara, was born at the National Zoo in 1983 but spent most of her life in a New Jersey aquarium before returning to D.C. Today, the animals are listed by the IUCN as a species of least concern.īoth of the pup's parents were born in captivity. With the 1972 passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, gray seals began rebounding as Canadian populations colonized southern habitat. They were viewed as pests that competed with fishermen for food and for taking over beaches. waters, hunted for their pelts or government bounties. They were nearly extirpated from the wild in U.S. Gray seals are highly trainable and in the past were often used for balancing tricks in circus acts. “Which is really important when it comes to training them.” “All of our seals and sea lions know their names,” says Rebecca Sturniolo, associate curator of the Zoo's American Trail. She hasn't been given a name yet, but that will become an important part of her relationship with her handlers. She also has a thick, warm coat of white fur. This new pup was already 37 pounds when she was first weighed on January 24. January is a cold, tough month for any baby animal, which is part of the reason why gray seal pups are so large at birth. A new baby seal pup was born at the Smithsonian's National Zoo on January 21, the latest in its successful breeding program for gray seals.
