| These results are in agreement with a report from the Oregon coast of a location that is also a harbor seal molting but not pupping area. |
|
| As no mother-pup pairs were observed, these ledges are molting but not pupping ledges. |
|
| Could these be the same birds that every year turn up hundreds of miles away along the desert coast just in time for the sea lion pupping season? |
|
| Both ice types likely represent areas where most seal pupping occurred in spring for each region. |
|
| This, it is hoped, will succeed in revealing migratory patterns, aggregating sites and pupping grounds. |
|
| Breeding and pupping sea otters generally occur from Point of Arches to the south, with a large concentration of sea otters near Cape Alava. |
|
| Loss of southern pupping areas due to inadequate or highly variable ice conditions may reduce these species as polar bear prey. |
|
| Grey nurse sharks grow relatively slowly and mature at between four and six, though the precise timing of mating and pupping in Australian waters remains unknown. |
|
| The peak of pupping by ringed seals along the coast of southeastern Baffin Island occurs in early April, though obviously some pups are born earlier or later. |
|
| Bearded seals and walrus, feed in relatively shallow waters and rely on benthic prey associated with continental shelf areas and rely on annual sea ice for pupping. |
|
| Breeding occurs in California from March to May, pupping between April and May, depending on local populations. |
|
| Massachusetts is the southernmost point of known pupping areas along the Atlantic Coast. |
|
| Although crabeaters often gather on the ice in large numbers, pupping takes place in small groups. |
|
| The timing of the pupping season varies with location, occurring in February for populations in lower latitudes, and as late as July in the subarctic zone. |
|
| Although some of the largest pupping areas harbor seals are found in California, harbor seals are found north along the Pacific Coast of the US in both Oregon and Washington. |
|
| Some of these factors may include pupping habitat and access to water. |
