The young pup peered down into the icy water below with a growing feeling of trepidation. Only a few days old, she had learnt so much already from watching her mother, but this challenge was her greatest so far.
How would it feel to be submerged? What would she find lurking underneath the surface? How would ever she get back onto dry land?
Questions flooded her mind like a torrent of icy water, but bravely she inched closer to the edge…
As she plunged into the cold, icy waters of Antarctica as she is a Harp Seal she has also fur and blubber she went out to find her mum as she went hunting for food. She passed a school of small fish when suddenly she saw a white blur and a great grey blur as she swam faster towards it she then realised it was her mother and a black-tip shark she knew she had to save her mother somehow. All she knew was that any sharks are repelled to swimming in large groups, also a harp seals call is very loud so she could call out to the other seals and the shark would swim away, *Calls to other seals* A whole pack of seals no bigger than 9 swam to join the mother and daughter. The shark got intimidated by the large pack of seals and swam away at top speed.
THE END
