Cape Cross seals colony,Namibia Cape Cross has both historic and biological significance and is a popular tourist attraction. The Portuguese navigator, Diego Cão, landed here in 1486 on his second expedition south of the equator and planted a stone cross (padrão) to mark his journey. A replica is visible here today. Inclusive of a second replica, the area has been listed as a National Heritage Site. In the late 1800s, thousands of tons of guano (dried excrement of fish-eating birds used as fertiliser) were collected and exported to Europe. Cape fur seals were also harvested. About 100 workers lived at Cape Cross and a police station, customs and post office were established at the settlement, while a railway (the first in the country) was built to cross the salt pan and transport workers. Many men lost their lives due to the harsh conditions at Cape Cross. This reserve is a sanctuary for the world’s largest breeding colony of Cape fur seals, with up to 210 000 seals present during the breeding season in November and December. Sustainable seal harvesting takes place in the reserve annually under the auspices of the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, which also sets the quota of seals to be harvested. #namib #namibia #namibiandesert #swakopmund #africanvideos #africa #racconta_il_tuo_viaggio #travelmemories #travelphotography #travelafrica #travelsouthafrica #travelnamibia #seal #capecross #mothernature #wondersofnature #southafrica #southernafrica #nature #naturephotography (presso Cape Cross Seal) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxCcmNTlpgz/?igshid=3438bn1ml47z

A portrait of a white lady spider (Leucorchestris sp.) I shot at night during a heavy fog near Cape Cross. The fog brings water to the desert animals, giving life to this (non) desert. This spider was so full of droplets on its face that I could not resist from getting my ultra macro and shoot this image. Image taken with @venuslaowa 25mm ultra macro. . . . #pickoftheday #predatoridelmicrocosmo #whitelady #spider #arachnid #capecross #night #fog #livingdesert #namibia #namib (presso Cape Cross, Erongo, Namibia)

It's a lazy sort of Sunday. Although every Sunday is lazy if you're a Cape Fur Seal. @skeletoncoastbrand @sealifelovers @mythical_wild @deinnamibia #seal #furseal #capefurseal #pinniped #mammal #marinemammals #sealife #marinelife #beach #sleepy #lazysunday #lazy #namibian #namib #namibia #capecross #swakopmund #swakop #skeletoncoast #africa #african #chrismilliganphoto #conservation https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrhTSCgldT/?igshid=w9kj3e6pv4k3

A baby seal at Cape Cross in Namibia. The coastline of Southern Africa is the only place in the world where you can find Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus, or the Cape fur seal, as they are more commonly known. They fight, mate, reproduce and fish in the Cape Cross Seal Reserve, home to the largest breeding colony of these seals on the planet, with at times up to 210,000 seals present during November and December. ::: #seal #namibia #aftica #capecross #summer #nature #fun #travel #photo #photography #holiday #landscape #vacation #trip #travelgram #adventure #instatravel #holidays #traveling #explore #outdoors #travelling #travelphotography (presso Cape Cross, Erongo, Namibia)

Plastic is fucking the world. This is a young Brown fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus) with a fishing net wrapped around is neck. I tried to remove it but chasing the seals with a snake hook didn’t work. It’s very unlikely that the plastic made net will leave its grasp. The seal would eventually die. #capecross #plastic #net #fishing #namibia @ilcp_photographers
