We have had some ferociously high seas causing these NZ Fur Seals (Kekeno) to come ashore for a rest. This was not all of them, there are 25 or more in the photo taken today but we counted about 40. They know they are safe because it is near the penguin colony which is protected. They live for about 15 years and the males grow as big as 2.5m long. They have been recorded diving deeper than 238m and for as long as 11 minutes!
