2023 was a record year for seal pup births for the Isle of Man.
That's according to Manx Wildlife Trust Marine Officer Lara Howe.
Speaking to 3FM, she said the population is doing really well, with Trust volunteers monitoring the pups that are born on the Calf of Man every autumn.
Lara told us that in total 96 seal births were recorded, the highest number born since the Trust started their surveys in 2009.
