Kangaroo Island - Seals sunning, Admiral's Arch - The life of a female sea lion is not one I would relish. Basically she is constantly pregnant. As soon as she gives birth she is attractive to the males and becomes pregnant but is already nursing her new pup whom she has to drive away when she gives birth and gets pregnant again. Every three days she has to go out to sea to catch enough food to sustain herself the nursing pup and the growing foetus. All this real life issues seem so remote when the seals are lying on the rocks and sunning themselves. The Admiral's Arch is a dramatic place but the toilet smells from the seals is not a good thing.
