Seals can be spotted in the wild along the Southern Australia Coastline. Some have been spotted as far north as Sydney in New South Wales and along the Coral Coast in Western Australia.

Care must be taken upon seeing a seal in the wild. Like other animals that survive in the wild, they should be left alone to take care of their young. Seals can also move quite quickly and have been known to bite if disturbed.

Seals in the past were hunted for their prized fur, many colonies were wiped out all over the world, including Australia. A number of colonies are beginning a comeback in numbers, today, they are a protected species in Australia.
