Rare Glimpse of Mother and Pup Seals Swimming in Liaodong Bay
Occurred on January 28, 2026 / Liaoning, China
Info from Licensor: "This is the heartwarming moment that a mother seal and her pup were filmed navigating an icy sea, offering a rare and gentle glimpse of life in winter waters. A pair of spotted seals moving across the Liaodong Bay lightly covered with ice. The mother led the way with steady strokes while the young seal followed closely behind, still wrapped in patches of white down that had not fully shed. The pup tried to match the pace, slipping and rolling between short swims, then pushing forward again with clumsy determination. The thin ice reflected pale light as both animals cut through the water, and the contrast between the mother’s calm rhythm and the pup’s awkward splashes made the scene especially vivid. The video ended with the pup staying close behind its mother as they disappeared across the icy water together."
