Sea Lion Island not only has Southern Sea Lions on it but is also home to the most Southern Elephants Seals to be found in the Falkland Islands.

Below are some of the images of marine mammals taken on Sea Lion Island.

Southern Elephant Seals on the Southern beach

Soon after giving birth to there single pup the female Southern Elephant Seals are ready to be mated with by the huge bulls.

The pups suckle from their mothers for just 23 days before the female leaves and returns to feed at sea.

In the 23 days the pups go from little black sacks of skin to big fat lazy lumps.

They then spend the next 8 to 14 weeks on the beach before hunger forces them to leave to feed.
