Description: The South African fur seal colony on Geyser Rock is a fascinating natural spectacle. With approximately 36,000 animals, the island is home to one of the largest seal colonies in the world. These animals must undertake a dangerous journey into the open sea daily to reach their fishing grounds. They are stalked by Great White Sharks, who rely on seals as their primary food source. Only when the seals safely return to land is the danger averted. Learn more about the fascinating interplay between predator and prey in this unique environment.
