I was just searching on the internet the other day and came across this website www.sealionfilm.com. It was created by Alastair Jamieson and Kat Baulu, both graduates of the University of Otago’s post graduate diploma in natural history filmmaking. Part of their submission for the diploma was to make a half hour natural history documentary.

Their documentary features Mum the matriarch of the Peninsula breeding population and her latest pup. The story follows the pup in the weeks immediately following its birth and the challenges it faces during this time. A short preview of the film can be viewed on their website and is worth checking out to see some on the sealions on the peninsula and to have a look at some of the work coming out of the University.
