EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hooded Seal - male, female, and 4-day-old young" by M. Watson, showcases the intimate bond between a Hooded Seal family in their natural habitat in the Magdalen Islands, Quebec, Canada. The image beautifully portrays the male and female Hooded Seals, with their distinctive hoods and sleek bodies, as they protectively keep a watchful eye over their newborn pup. The young Hooded Seal, only four days old, lies nestled between them, seeking warmth and comfort. The Hooded Seal, scientifically known as Cystophora cristata, is a fascinating marine mammal that can be found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. These pinnipeds are well adapted to their icy environment, with their hoods serving as a thermal insulator and camouflage. This photograph is a testament to the strong family bonds that exist within the Hooded Seal population. The mother and father work together to care for their young, ensuring their survival in the harsh and unforgiving Arctic conditions. The Magdalen Islands, located off the eastern coast of Quebec, provide an ideal habitat for these magnificent creatures. The crystal-clear waters offer abundant food sources, allowing the Hooded Seals to thrive in their natural environment. This photograph is not only a stunning work of art but also a reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats of these magnificent marine mammals. It is a privilege to witness such an intimate moment in their lives and serves as a reminder of the beauty and wonder that exists in our natural world.
