Don\u2019t worry little one, Mama\u2019s here! There\u2019s no shortage of a mother\u2019s love in a video that\u2019s going viral online. One seal mom was absolutely beside herself when she saw her pup start to head for the ocean. She sprinted to save the little guy and people were riveted watching the mom try and get to her baby in time.<\/p>\n
You have to keep your eyes on a little one, that\u2019s for sure. The mama seal must\u2019ve been so scared when she saw her cub get a little too close to the water for comfort.<\/p>\n
Seal cubs are just as curious as little humans are. But just like toddlers, sometimes that curiosity can get them into trouble.<\/p>\n
The cub snuck off to the ocean while the rest of the herd rested on the beach. He probably wanted to go for a swim! Unfortunately, he probably isn\u2019t ready to swim solo just yet. It can be dangerous. Thank goodness Mom was there and caught him before it was too late.<\/p>\n
Little guy had just entered the water when Mom pulled up behind him right-quick. She came out of nowhere! You know her supermom speed kicked in when she saw her baby hit the shoreline. Whew! She got him. That was a close one for sure.<\/p>\n
Everyone in the comments section was so relieved. And some people joked that the seagull watching the whole thing go down was the cub\u2019s \u201cbabysitter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeagull like \u2018is somebody watching this baby or what?\u2019\u201d joked one person.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeagull\u2019s like \u2018I tried to stop him,\u2019\u201d chimed in another commenter.<\/p>\n
\u201cMothering is the same across species. Stay chasing after these kids,\u201d quipped another person.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018Oooh, you\u2019re going to get in trouble!\u2019 – the seagull probably,\u201d added one commenter.<\/p>\n
Like many species, seals care for their young. But at some point little seas must be confident to leave their mother\u2019s side, right? There are several different breeds of seals out there, but for say, a Monk seal<\/a>, they will typically stay by their mother\u2019s side while they are nursing. That can be anywhere from the first five to seven weeks of a seal\u2019s life.<\/p>\n After the baby has been weaned it may stay close to where it was born so it can learn to find food. This is typically when baby seals are their most curious \u2014 and this video definitely proves that!<\/p>\n Looking for more PetHelpful updates?
