BOSTON, Mass. (WPRI) – The New England Aquarium has a new addition to the family.

Ursula, a 14 year old fur seal gave birth to a 9 pound new pup on Tuesday night.

The unnamed pup is the first birth in the Aquarium’s dedicated program for rare Northern Fur Seals.

Ursula and her new pup will not be visible to the public for a while as they enjoy some quiet bonding time behind the scenes.

They are expected to be visible to the public later this summer.
