Cub and Mum
by Juan Iglesias
Female of Cape fur seal and its cub. Cape Cross has the best known breeding colony of Cape fur seals along the Namib coast. This appealing species isn't a true seal at all, but an eared seal, which is actually a species of sea lion.
Equipment: Canon EOS 1D, Canon EF 70-200 f:2.8 L USM

I was born in Oviedo (Spain), in 1971. I studied Biology at the Oviedo University. I worked during many years in brown bears (Ursus arctos), wolf (Canis lupus signatus) and red fox (Vulpes vulpes) research projects.
Now I'm freelance wildlife photographer since 1994, especialized in wildlife and landscapes, but also travel and other reports.

You have captured a magic moment – the mother seal is obviously enjoying the closeness of her cub. A beautiful family picture. Thank you.

Reminds me of my mother’s love, giving me littlwe toys when I was young, having no care in the world, It makes me quite tearful. Well done!
