During the pupping season in the UK, if you are visiting the coast around Norfolk and Suffolk, you may well see newborn pups, can we remind you that white fluffy pups may look cute, but they have sharp teeth that carry harmful bacterial.
They can also be easily disturbed and lose their mum, so please keep your distance and help look after our wonderful marine life! |
