In the Galápagos, the pup's relationship with its mother is nothing short of extraordinary. For the first week of its life, the pup relies on its mother for sustenance and protection. The maternal bond is strong, with mothers often seen teaching their young to swim and hunt, preparing them for an independent life. Soon after, the mother will leave the pup on the beach, venturing into the sea to forage for food. Despite the numerous pups on the beach, each mother-pup pair shares a unique connection that allows them to find one another. Nursing typically continues for six to twelve months, although some females have been observed nursing yearlings, and there have even been documented cases of nursing that lasted up to three years.
