Seal Bay is famous for its large colony of rare Australian Sea Lions, estimated to comprise ten percent of the world population of the species. The inhabitants are relatively tame, and do tolerate human incursion into their midst as long as you don't get closer than about 6 meters. Though they do look cute, they can be dangerous if they feel threatened. What's more, disturbing them means that they will get less sleep during their resting period on the shore, putting them in danger of being eaten by a shark during their next fishing period at sea.
