Nothing beats the sounds of nature 🦭🌊 Did you know? 🦭 New Zealand Fur Seals were heavily hunted in the 1800s for their fur, nearly driving them to extinction. 🌊 Thanks to strict protection measures, their population is now steadily increasing, with around 200,000 seals calling NZ home! 🌿 These marine mammals are expert divers, capable of reaching depths of over 200 meters in search of food. 📍 Cape Palliser, Wairarapa Follow @naturewithliam for more tales of wildlife resilience and epic adventures! #connecttonature #travelnz #newzealandtravel #bucketlisttravel #adventuretravel #birdsofnewzealand @wairarapa
