Perth - Penguin Island - the sea lions in Perth and the Indian Ocean also segregate themselves into male and female colonies so the females and pups have access to the greater supply of food and no competition from the males. At mating season the males swim up to the coast off Broome to create the next generation and then leave the females to raise the pups on their own. The Ferry penguins are so sweet. These fellows are all no longer able to be out in the wild and are socialized as a colony. Much pampering has taken place and each penguin is rather eccentric and hilarious in their feeding habits.
