It stabilizes the sand dunes and plays an important role in the coastal ecosystem. Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in Australia after Tasmania and Melville Island. Less that 4,600 people inhabit the island. The island is known for its natural beauty and wildlife. AIMG_6514

New Zealand Fur seals on Kangaroo Island, Australia. Commercial hunting almost eradicated New Zealand fur seals from Kangaroo Island in the 1800's. They have rebounded to nearly 100,000 and pose a threat to penguins and fish stock. Fur seals, like sea lions, are members of the eared seal family (otariid). They differ from true seals (phocidae) in a number of ways, including having external ears, using their front flippers predominantly to swim and by being able to walk on all four flippers. AIMG_6512
