Day 93. Walvis Bay,Namibia (day 2)

The 2nd day in Walvis Bay was Seals day. I went on a boat, climbed the ladder to the second deck and perched myself there for an exciting day of chasing thousands of seals. I learned that the dolphins here are Heaviside dolphins.. we also saw flamingos, African Great WhitePelucans, and thousands of Cape fur seals. They can only be found in cold water. All of the seals that we saw are females and their offspring. The males were off gathering food and eating for their return for mating season on October. Up to 90,000 seals will be here during mating season.
*Seals swim at 25km/hr and
can hold their breath for up to 60 min. The locals hunt seals for their hides--shoes, belts, and purses.Read more
