The Weddell seal population study presents Weddell Mom/Pup Interactive Image Sliders! The concept was developed by project multimedia specialist Jeremy Schmidt, (with a tip o' the hat to the the Katmai National Park grizzly bear project). The photos for these sliders were taken by project researcher Jesse DeVoe. Because the mass (weight) of Weddell seal moms and pups changes so dramatically during the approximately 35 day nursing period, Image Sliders are a great way to see those changes. Here is a short video by the project's lead scientist, Dr. Jay Rotella, about mom/pup mass transfer while using these image sliders, followed by the image sliders, themselves:
