Baby pinnipeds are commonly referred to as pups. They are born on land or ice, where they are nursed by their mothers for several weeks to months, depending on the species. Pups are characterized by their soft fur and often have a distinct coloration compared to adults. After weaning, they begin to learn to hunt and swim, developing the skills necessary for survival in their aquatic habitats.
