Sea Lion Island

Living World

Available for over a year

Lionel Kelleway travels to the Falkland Islands in search of amorous marine mammals. The aptly named Sea Lion Island is a temporary home for sea lions and elephant seals. While it is winter in the UK, it is summertime in the Falklands, and peak time for mating and pupping. Lionel may even get to experience the incredible spectacle of the local pod of killer whales in full hunting action.
