Iryna Gordiyenko, Australian Fur Seal (ANIMAL & NATURE 2024)

We are so lucky that we can enjoy such a diverse wildlife both on the land and in the sea. It’s wonderful to see how humans and animals can co-exist so close to each other like the incredible Australian Fur Seals. I am so glad to see that the seal population is making a recovery after being heavily hunted for its fur during the1800s.
