Mom 5AY took off yesterday and hasn't been seen since. This is normal for monk seal weaning. After all, 5AY was looking incredibly emaciated, since she doesn't eat during the whole 5-8 week neonatal nursing period.
P02 has been remarkably nonchalant about his new found solitude. Usually, there's lots of crying and whining. P02's a big weaner, but he's no sissy.
Here's a photo of our boy, in all his adorable roly-poly glory, courtesy of another volunteer. In'int he bee-oo-tee-ful?!? :)
