Watch: Harp Seal Cub Clings to Diver for Life As Ice Melts Around It
Liz O’Connell – April 17, 2023
It’s a miracle that she came along when she did.
Marine Biologist and Photojournalist Jennifer Hayes shared a recent experience she had with a Harp Seal Cub that is truly heartbreaking. The story, which was shared on the TikTok account @c4news, is just a small glimpse into what is happening around the world due to climate change.
Temperatures rising is affecting every living creature and on Quebec’s Magdalen Islands, the Harp Seals that migrate there to give birth are experiencing difficulties as the ice is melting rapidly. And Hayes’ interaction with a baby Harp Seal is a sad reality. Take a look.

Ugh, watching this video hurts our hearts. We can’t believe 2020 was the last time this area captured seals nursing on it. Changes need to be made so we can save not only these precious animals but all the other animals that are affected by the climate crisis.
“This needs to be shared. We must keep fighting for our home,” wrote @brazilwolf2000. If seeing these precious animals won’t light a fire under people’s butts to help protect the earth, we don’t know what will. @clementinesamples suggested, “These films need to be shown in Congress. Make them watch.” Anything to get the ball rolling on slowing or stopping climate change.
Another TikToker, @btsforlifexyz, commented, “They are so so cute we need cuteness in our world.” YES! Say it louder for the people in the back! @andrenava43 added, “Awwwww it’s so cute we need to do something about this. We don’t want them to die.” None of us want these beautiful animals to go extinct. Time to take action!
