Dive into life in a sea lion colony.
Between a jagged cliff face and a roaring ocean, lives a colony of Australian sea lions. In an environment equally as harsh as it is beautiful, be immersed in a classic coming of age tale guided by one of Australia's most unique, intelligent and playful animals in Sea Lions – Life by a Whisker. Journey inside the colony where a life of great intimacy, tenderness and clumsiness must often give way to a life of great sacrifice and bravery, all while experiencing the world of a rare Australian sea lion pup – and meeting the people that are trying to save her species.
