She keeps the pup close by and nurses if with very rich milk that helps the pup quickly grow a layer of fat to keep it warm. After about 12 days, however, the mother leaves the baby. Look inside to find out how these seal pups survive in their frozen Arctic world....

Anxious to see what life is like outside the zoo, Sammy the seal explores the city, goes to school, and plays with the children but decides that there really is no place like home.
