Cape Fur Seal and newborn Pup.
Oil on canvas. 24 × 30”
Every year 14 millions tons of plastic end up in our oceans. Marine animals suffer from ingesting or becoming entangled in in trash. The team at Ocean Conservation Namibia, heroically disentangle seals every day. One day, during birthing season, Naude Dryer filmed this mother seal. Let’s hope this new pup avoids entanglement for as long as possible.
