Cape Cross, a small headland along Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, is home to one of the worlds largest fur seal colonies. Visiting in January meant there was a very large number of young seals pups only a few weeks old. 

A few of the adult seals seemed to be taking the pups for a swimming lesson as they crowded alongside the edge of the water, whilst others were quite happy to pose for the camera!

This site had hundreds of fur seals, both swimming in the water and relaxing on the rocks. Although you can’t tell from these pictures, smell of these seal was horrendous.

The boardwalk around the seal colony was the only shade provided for the seals and every spot was quickly taken up by sleepy seals.
