Today is International Seal Day, and I want to share one of my favorite photos: an Australian sea lion with her pup at Seal Bay.

Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island in South Australia has been home to Australian sea lions for thousands of years. Moments like this show the results of protecting wildlife. Because Australian sea lions are endangered, Seal Bay is one of the few places where they can come ashore, rest, and raise their pups safely. At Seal Bay Conservation Park, there are no enclosures or cages. Guides take visitors into the colony so people can learn about these sea lions as they live freely on the white sands they have known for generations.

International Seal Day is a good reminder that special moments like this don’t just happen on their own. They exist because dedicated people work hard, believing that future generations should have the chance to experience them too.

“Forming part of a group known as ‘eared’ seals, the Australian Sea Lion is now one of the rarest species on the planet. Males are enormous and can be three times bigger than the average female.”⁣

Assessing Me. These Australian sealions, after being in the water with them for a short time, would come darting through the water just close enough so they could get a better look at the intruders of their environment (me, or the other clients on board that day). @calypsostarcharters owns this image. Such playful and fun animals. However, with respect to the wildlife, no touching is permitted. 📸GoPro Hero 4 #sealion #australiansealion #hopkinsisland #gopro #goprohero4 #ecotourism #underwater #wildlifephotography #beauty #extraordinary #stunning #life #love #respect #playful #curious #southaustralia #portlincoln #boatlife #swimming #ocean #saveourseas #marinelife #capture #natgeoyourshot #colors #wild #mammal #eyecontact #cute @gopro @saveourseasfoundation @natgeoyourshot @southaustralia @port_lincoln @sealions_daily @australiansealions (at Hopkins Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_bDCujZC3/?igshid=cdev6ctnpmng
