Re: K20 adventure thread
Hi Leon.
They are NZ Fur seals! They are remarkably great climbers and come in to rest before heading out for more food. We saw another three swimming around in the water and they looked like they were having a great time.
They eat a lot of squid and small fish and apparently hunt at night when their food is 'closer' to the surface - I heard they generally dive to 350 feet and some adult females go as deep as 700 feet, all the while 120 miles out from the continental shelf. Blows my mind that a mammal can do that!
