Peter and I have just come back from spending the day with an Australian Fur Seal hauled out on a rock platform here on the Central Coast NSW. Although the animal had two cookie cutter shark bites on its left foreflipper this did not appear to impede the animal in anyway. We watched as it moved further up onto the platform as the tide came in. The animal was alert and barked out warnings. It was also observed preening and swimming strongly. It was our first time with an Australian fur seal and a real privilege to be able to assist. What a wonderful animal!!!!!
Hopefully our photos are good enough to place in the gallery!
