Need A Lift?

A mother nudges her pup back onto the ice after the baby takes an unplanned plunge. "This is about as much as a female can do," says harp seal researcher Mike Hammill, referring to the work of helping a flailing offspring out of the water after brittle ice gives way. With more pups entering the water too early, Hammill expects higher rates of pup mortality.
