Fur Seal in Bluff Harbour
For the last few days visitors Io and residents of Bluff have found considerable interest in the antics of a small fur seal which has been enjoying a comfortable existence close to the wharf. Experts describe it as “a last veer’s pup.'' and it plays about in the water just like a pup. Sometimes it walks up to tiie railway embankment and lies on the gravid. The highlights of the performance are the times it washes its face with its dippers inul plays with a fish just as a cat does with a mouse.
