(7)
Description: The South African fur seal, scientifically known as Arctocephalus pusillus, inhabits the waters off the coast of Gansbaai and the islands of Dyer Island and Geyser Rock. This seal colony consists of approximately 36,000 animals that live in relative safety on land and in shallow waters. However, when they embark on their fishing expeditions into the open sea, dangers lurk in the form of Great White Sharks. These impressive animals hold a special significance for the ecological balance of the ocean. Experience the majestic South African fur seals in their natural environment as they bravely navigate the waves and protect themselves from their most formidable predators.
