Gray seal pups are born with long, white fur called lanugo, which is molted in two to four weeks and replaced with shorter, stiffer hair similar to that of adults.
Although guests will most likely not be able to see the pup on exhibit at Pinniped Point before she molts, they can view updated photos and video of her on the zoo’s web site.
