The New Zealand sea lion, formerly known as Hooker sea lion is endemic to New Zealand. It is the rarest species of sea lion in the world, with the majority of their population restricted to sub-Antarctic islands. Since 1993, a breeding population has re-established itself on the mainland of New Zealand, after more than 150 years of no births occurring here. The following photos are of my first time seeing New Zealand sea lions, in the Catlins.
