On the other side of the hill we walk down to the beach where a number of Hooker sea lions are lying lazily on the beach growling. They pay no attention to us as we walk past. I learn that sea lions are a type of seal with ears and these are the rarest of the world's five species. Sea lions were almost hunted to death by the Maori for food and have only been drawn back to the shores in the last 30 years.
