Mysterious and ethereal critters. They can become quite tame and almost walk????
I love them so much.
they travel from the rivers out to sea then to an unknown place near Tonga to spawn and die; the babies or larvae then find their way back to their ancestral rivers hundreds of kilometres away riding ocean currents…
this seal rescue centre has a live stream of their baby seals that they are taking care of before releasing them back into the wild, very relaxing to watch!
