A Harp Seal takes a brief moment to stare at me in the waters of Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence. Historically these animals have thrived in this region, where they come for a few weeks each year to engage in courtship, mating and pupping.
The decline of sea ice over the last decade (due to global warming), however, has caused problems for this species. Without stable ice, harp seal pups cannot suckle from their mothers, and often fall into the icy sea before they are physically prepared. Survival for this species is uncertain if such trends of climate change continue.
