Description
Awe-Inspiring Antipodean Fur Seals. Part of our new collection for 2020. The work was produced in December 2019 in Barunguba or Montague Island in the Barunbuga Island Nature Reserve in New South Wales, Australia and Kaikōura on the east coast of Te Waipounamu or the South Island of New Zealand.
About the collection
The work took place under the necessary permits being these types of seals are protected under the Environment Protection Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 under which it is listed as a protected marine species and the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW).
The Antipodean fur seal or long-nosed fur seal is a species of seal found mainly around southern Australia and New Zealand. The name New Zealand fur seal is used by English speakers in New Zealand. Kekeno is used in the Māori language.
As of 2014, the common name long-nosed fur seal has been proposed for the population of seals inhabiting Australia.
Although the Australian and New Zealand populations show some genetic differences, their morphologies are very similar, and thus they remain classed as a single species.
After the arrival of humans in New Zealand, and particularly after the arrival of Europeans in Australia and New Zealand, hunting reduced the population near to extinction.
