They do that to rest, enjoy the sun, or even spend time together with other seals. But Harbor seals don&#8217;t necessarily have to spend their nights on land!

Seal pups may occasionally ride on their mothers when they are too tired to swim. These cute family interactions don\u2019t last long, as harbor seal pups stay with their mothers for about 4 to 6 weeks before they\u2019re old enough to start trying to forage on their own.<\/p>\n<p>It is during these early stages of a pup&#8217;s life that they are most at risk of danger. While separated from their mothers, they can easily get caught up in fishing nets, or end up on urban beaches where they might be at risk of dogs \u2013 who can not only injure them, but spread diseases. Seal pups should be left alone, and your dogs should not be allowed near them. If you see an entangled, injured, or stranded seal, report it to your local experts so they can come and tend to it. Specialists such as those at the Marine Mammal Center have the expertise to properly care for an injured harbor seal pup and rehabilitate them back into the wild.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>A Marine Lifesaver<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"829\" height=\"1024\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-829x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-600347\" style=\"width:415px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-829x1024.png 829w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-243x300.png 243w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-768x949.png 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-150x185.png 150w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-300x371.png 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-324x400.png 324w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-696x860.png 696w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-1068x1320.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1-340x420.png 340w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Podcast_Meet-the-Expert-Sophie-1.png 1107w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In this episode, Emma calls animal researcher Sophie Guarasci to talk about the harbor seal project.

In addition to performing physical exams and providing surgical assistance, she also oversees and trains students and volunteers in the care of marine mammals.<\/p>\n<p>Sophie works at the Marine Mammal Center, which is focused on advancing global ocean conversation through animal care, research, and education. Their centers take care of all types of different marine mammals, including harbor seal pups. The treatment process involves protecting these pups from stress, making sure they are well-fed, and taught how to dive and hunt on their own, before eventually being released back into the wild.<\/p>\n<p>Sophie has been doing an incredible job helping these adorable animals, and Earth Rangers is determined to help her out! You can too by joining the Shoreline Saver mission, and if you want something fun \u2013 why not check out these fun Wildwire articles featuring the harbor seal?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"pyZnx60ovn\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/bbtw_updates\/hype-up-for-harbor-seals\/\">Hype up for harbor seals!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Hype up for harbor seals!&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/bbtw_updates\/hype-up-for-harbor-seals\/embed\/#?secret=NH4Mdr35fG#?secret=pyZnx60ovn\" data-secret=\"pyZnx60ovn\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"plmGvUYzUM\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/news\/a-new-generation-of-wildlife-heroes\/\">A New Generation of Wildlife Heroes<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;A New Generation of Wildlife Heroes&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/news\/a-new-generation-of-wildlife-heroes\/embed\/#?secret=p9TT2QDNqQ#?secret=plmGvUYzUM\" data-secret=\"plmGvUYzUM\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-earth-rangers wp-block-embed-earth-rangers\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"62i03L170H\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/all\/would-you-rather-44\/\">Would you Rather #44<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Would you Rather #44&#8221; &#8212; Earth Rangers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/US\/all\/would-you-rather-44\/embed\/#?secret=kHMjJq6XG7#?secret=62i03L170H\" data-secret=\"62i03L170H\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper td_block_wrap vc_raw_html tdi_25 \"><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/wildwire\/leave-us-a-message\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50049\" src=\"\/public\/content\/wildwire\/Save-A-Message.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"77\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Save-A-Message.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Save-A-Message-265x88.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong><strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What your favorite harbor seal fact of the episode?
