Volunteers at\u00a0the\u00a0Manx Wildlife Trust<\/a>\u00a0were amazed when they captured drone footage of a seal pup being born\u00a0in\u00a0Smugglers\u00a0Cave\u00a0on the Calf of Man<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThis is especially impressive as the pup was born in Smugglers cave, traditionally a very difficult location to monitor,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Manx Wildlife Trust\u00a0on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cNot only because\u00a0the site consists of two long caves but also because viewing inside meant the team had to sit precariously on the cliff edge.\u201d<\/p>
