rabid1stNot many people have seen this video, yet, despite it being on Yahoo's news feed. I wonder if that is because some people are alarmed about the idea of watching an animal give birth. If you are sensitive to that sort of thing, you might want to skip this vid.
I will put it under a cut, but, it isn't very graphic at all...and the moment when the lone Mom makes sure her baby is breathing...is so touching. It reminds me of how far our human species has come...that we have created this obnoxious venue...for something so amazingly pure and natural.
Man, it is hard to get proper leverage when you don't have any arms or legs! I do not envy seals this part of their life cycle.
Both mother and child are doing well, according to the people who filmed this clip.
