MALLARD DUCKLING

One week old

When a duckling hatches it will imprint upon the first living creature it sees that is larger than itself, which is usually the mother duck. Ducklings are able to walk and swim just hours after hatching, but will stay with their mothers and siblings, often parading in a line when walking and swimming, for a few weeks. Ducklings usually take their first flight at about two months old.

HARBOR SEAL

Two weeks old

Harbor seals are long-lived, with lifespans reaching twenty-five to thirty years. During their lives, adult females can give birth to one pup every year. Harbor seal pups are able to swim at birth, but will often ride on their mother’s backs when they are tired. Pups form a strong bond with their mothers and are very vocal, making a bleating noise that sounds like “maaaa” to communicate with their mothers.
