Do seal mothers leave their babies?

Answer 1

Yes, there comes a time of year when they desert them enmass to fend for themselves and you can hear the young ones crying for their moms all through the night. It gets irritating if you live near the coast.

Answer 2

The pup grows quickly on its mother's rich milk, and she abandons her offspring after three weeks, ready to mate again. The bulls (males) haul themselves onto the shore and fight each other to establish territories. The more mature, experienced bull usually wins any fight and he mates with all the females on his part of the beach.

Answer 3

Harbor seals of the northern Pacific population give birth from May to July. Farther south, the pupping season becomes progressively earlier; in Baja California, the season is February and March. Harbor seals inhabiting the coasts of British Columbia and Washington give birth from June to September.

Although most pups are born in February through July, the pupping season varies widely among the regional populations.
