Description
We had the pleasure of seeing a bigish colony of sea lions on Kangaroo Island. The only way to see them was with a guide for safety reasons; for us and them. They were quite magnificent and I managed a few decent shots.
On our way back to our campsite, about 15 klms from the colony we stopped to take photos of the rugged coast line. I almost died when this pup stuck his head up from behind the little dune. He stayed, watching me intently until his very big mother appeared. We quickly retreated.
We reported the mother and baby to the rangers just so they could keep an eye out for them. It was odd for them to apparently be alone.
Commercial harvesting that occurred in the 1800’s has taken a toll on their numbers. They have not bounced back. They are at a high risk of extinction.
