Harp seal pups are typically born weighing between 20 to 25 pounds (9 to 11 kg) and measure around 30 to 35 inches (76 to 89 cm) in length. They are born covered in a thick layer of white fur, which helps keep them warm in their icy habitats. As they grow, they gradually lose this white fur and develop a more mottled coat. They are weaned after about 12 days, during which time they can gain significant weight.
Seal pups, particularly those of the harp seal species, have historically been targeted for their fur. The commercial hunting of these pups, often occurring in Canada and Greenland, has been controversial due to concerns over animal welfare and the sustainability of seal populations. The fur of young seals is highly valued in the fashion industry, which has led to significant public outcry and campaigns against seal hunting practices. Efforts to ban or regulate the hunting of seal pups have gained traction in various countries and international organizations.
