Secure on the rocky shore of Fiordland’s northwestern coast, fur seals bask unmolested. It wasn’t always so. Discovered in great abundance by early explorers, fur seals were slaughtered so indiscriminately for their pelts that by 1830 the seals were all but exterminated. Protected today, they are thriving.
