A colony of Cape Fur Seals at Cape Cross

The seal colony at Cape Cross is the breeding place of the Cape Fur Seals, which are actually a species of sea lion. Along the Namibian and South African coast there are 24 colonies with a seal population of about 650 000 animals. At Cape Cross live about 80 000 to 100 000 seals. They are slightly reduced every year because they are still desired and apparently they eat too much fish.
