Seal Sneeze

Seeing the hedgehog reminded me I had a stack of photos of Kiwi wildlife. There's a few more back at the start of my stream but people don't always look back that far (I'm the same though!).

 

This is a juvenile New Zealand Fur Seal (hunted to near extinction in the late 19th century for its fur). They live in Milford Sound for their first year to learn how to hunt and survive in calmer waters than the open coast affords.

 

All rights reserved (although it's a reduced size anyway).

 

Better in Lightbox.
