Zookeepers surprised to find Gracie the harbor seal was pregnant have now welcomed the first seal pup to be born at the ABQ BioPark.
After the keepers noticed Gracie was gaining weight, an ultrasound revealed why. Gracie, 8, apparently had managed to mate with Oakley, 21, without anyone noticing.
The result was a 20-pound pup born April 13 and currently enjoying the quiet of the birthing pool. That's where they will stay until the pup is able to eat solid food and move to the public pool.
