NZ Sea Lions


Jim Fife from the Department of Conservation came to school to talk to us on the Wednesday 25th March. We found out about the difference between seals and sea lions. Sea Lions move more quickly than seals, have no external ears, have shorter whiskers and have a rounded nose. Sea Lions like sandy beaches and are not afraid of people. The males are a darker brown and the females are a milky white colour. They have been fully protected for over 130 years. The numbers have declined greatly over the years but they are now increasing on the Otago coast line.
Squid boats can catch them as by catch as they try to feed near them. Dogs are a threat to sea lions especially the sea lion pups. Pollution of the water can be a threat as well. A sea lion will die if it eats a plastic bag by mistake. Click on the title and go to the sea lion trust website to find out more.

HI Room 1, Jims talk on seals and sea lions sounds terrific. I enjoyed reading Isla's summary of the presentation. On my next visit to Mac Bay, I hope Fergus will be able to point out the different animals when we are on our walks. I am reading this from London and look forward to popping into your site every so often for an update.
