Basking seal

Very relaxed seal but don't get too close! Taken on our road trip to Hanmer via Kaikoura and the Inland Kaikoura road. Such a scenic trip.

Bit hard to get past this fellow hogging the walkway!

knows the warm spot to sit...When they are sitting in the rocks you can nearly stand on them as they are well hidden..

A grand shot - don't they look so clumsy out of the water!

FAV! This is sooo sweet! Look at that fur, the shape of the eye and long whiskers! Is that a little horn or growth? Never seen so much detail before!
