Better than coats

Better than coats
A bull NZ Fur Seal. These and other fur seals around Australia and New Zealand were almost exterminated in the 19th century for their furs - to make coats. Thankfully their numbers now are recovering (to the dismay of some professional fishing people).

Explored.
