海狗
图中一头福克兰岛海狗正栖息在新岛外的一块礁石上,这片海产丰富的水域滋养了种类繁多的野生动物群体,有些的数量非常惊人。在19世纪初期,这里的海狗曾遭到大肆捕杀,几乎灭绝,目前海狗的数量也仅有所适当回升。
A Falkland Islands fur seal perches on a rock outcrop off New Island, where seafood-rich waters nourish a wildlife population diverse in nature and often astonishing in number. Fur seal populations here have rebounded to merely modest levels after a hunting bloodbath in the early 19th century brought the subspecies to the brink of extinction. |
