Los leones marinos de Nueza Zelanda se encuentran en peligro debido a estres climático, enfermedades y accidentes de pesca, lo que ha hecho que su población se vea reducida a mínimos históricos.
Endangered New Zealand sea lions are often found in the rata forests of
their home nation’s Auckland Islands. Thanks to myriad threats—climate
stress, disease, and fishing hazards—their population is significantly
down from historical levels. Your Shot member Jacob Anderson came across
this animal near Ranui Cove on the northeast coast of Auckland Island.
True to the species’ reputation of being bold around humans, the sea
lion was unbothered while lounging on a rich bed of green moss.
