Harp Seal Mum & Pup 'Kiss' | Wild Life: The Big Freeze | National Geographic Wild UK

 

In a colony of 1000s, harp seal mothers use this kiss to identify their pup and make sure they’re feeding the right one. From the day they’re born, harp seal pups only have 10 days before their mothers head north with the males. In this time, they must feed enough to become strong and healthy, and learn how to swim. Wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory brings us on a blizzard-filled adventure to the edge of the Canadian Arctic, where a unique group of hard-core animals have figured out how to thrive. But our changing climate means their lives are changing faster here than anywhere else on the planet. Wild Life: The Big Freeze joins Bertie as he walks with polar bears, gets into the middle of a wolf pack, and dives under the sea ice with harp seals for incredible in-the-moment experiences.
