The New Zealand fur seal is actually a sea lion having a pointed nose, white whiskers and two layers of dark brown fur. They are quite rare and rather shy compared to their Galapagos cousins.

Our first sighting of the yellow-eyed penguin. We were there in the evening as they come up out of the water to find their nest in the long grass.
