elephant seal pups

elephant seal pups
About 20.000 elephant seals are estimated to live in the Valdes Peninsula Elephant Seal colonies . Due to the high sensitivity of this environment, access is only authorized to small groups escorted by park rangers and specialized guides .

The elephant seal pups, born in the end of September beginning of October , have a short nursing period. The pups will nurse for approximately three weeks, to then be abandoned by the mother and begin their life entirely independent of their mother´s care.

It was an unforgettable emotion to walk on this beautiful beach, so close to these pups(how many of them!) , the four of us and the guide, in silence.

I totally agree with you, Rosa. Their eyes impressed me most. And yes, despite their size, they are vulnerable like any other pup.

Thank you Andy! The mother´s milk is extremely rich in fat... the pup increases its weight by as much as 4kg each day!

Adele club has replied to Marie-claire Gallet
They are very quiet, Marie-claire! They will spend more than a month hardly moving and doing no feeding, surviving on the fat accumulated over the three week lactation period.
Thank you!

De bien beaux petits bébés ..
mais je trouve vraiment qu'ils ont en règle générale des regards
et des yeux de bébés qui viennent de naître..
merci pour ce partage exceptionnel...

Nonostante la mole di questi animali, credo sia molto esile l'equilibrio naturale in cui vivono, per questo credo che siano giuste e sacrosante le misure cautelari adottate.
Mi piace la ripresa, il punto di vista ravvicinato, i particolari del suolo bagnato .... peccato che non ce ne siano altre !
Un saluto speciale

How fragile we are , cantava Sting...sono creature fragili e lo é l'ambiente, sicuramente.
Di foto ne ho tantissime...ma non volevo annoiare gli amici di Ipernity.
Te ne manderò qualcuna se vuoi! :-)
Grazie mille e ancora buona serata

immagine di grande bellezza e potenza espressiva che riflette , coinvolgendomi immediatamente, appieno le emozioni e la gioia ed il tuo tenero stupore di fronte a questi bambini giganti ma sempre bambini...' spalmati' tra terra ed acqua, rivolgendoci sguardi dolcissimi..per ora.. :-)
Cara Adele: Grazie!
Un grande abbraccio da Bea

Tutta una lunghissima spiaggia bianca per questi cuccioli, tantissimi, che si muovevano poco, in attesa di cambiare pelle e diventare adulti...cara Bea , è stato davvero un privilegio accovacciarsi sulla sabbia e in silenzio guardarli...grazie di cuore per le tue parole tenere e gentili!
Un abbraccio

Adele club has replied to Gudrun club
Well, that's what my husband kept on saying, Gudrun!
But I was so excited that I told him it was the smell of seaweed...
Thank you very much, I love sharing travel experiences with you! :-)
