The third pup

The thirds pup has arrived, the mother was hauled out for about 4 days on Great Race before giving birth yesterday morning. The other females immediately came to check out the new pup. Unfortunately one of the females attacked the pup, several times. I am surprised the pup at the moment is still alive because the female attacked her many times and the pup is covered in scratches and bite marks. The pup is still alive at the moment so we’ll see how it fares but I’m not getting my hopes up right now.
