Cape Cross Seal Colony - Namibia - 2009

About 120 km north of Swakopmund, there is a massive seal colony in which
 there are many thousands of Cape Fur Seals.

Many of them had yong pups.
 90% of the pups are born in a 24-day period in late November and early December.
It was very smelly.

In 1486, Diego Cao, the first European to set foot on Namibia erected a cross in honour of John 1 of Portugal.
