“The gestation period for gray seals is 11.5 months, which includes a 3 month delay in implantation of the fertilized egg. Pups in the eastern Atlantic Ocean are born September-November while pups in the western Atlantic Ocean are born January-February. At birth, pups weigh approximately 35 lbs (16 kg) and fatten quickly (by 2.5-3 pounds per day in the first 3 weeks) on rich milk from their mothers. Pups are born with creamy white fur that is shed after the first 3 weeks of life. After this period, coat patterns differ between the sexes with females having a silver-grey coat with scattered dark spots and males having a dark gray coat with silver gray spots.” (NOAA)
