Over 1,000 individuals may be found here at the height of their breeding season in October. Adult bulls are huge – growing up to 4·5 m (15ft) Elephant seal pup long and weighing up to 3·5 tonnes. The breeding season begins when the adult bulls arrive in the second week of September. The cows arrive about a week later and form harem groups. Around 500–550 pups on average are born on Sea Lion Island each year in early October. The female feeds her pup on very rich milk for about 23 days during which time the pup will quadruple in weight. The female then mates and leaves for sea again. After moulting, most of the adult bulls will have left by the end of November. From late November yearlings and non-breeders come ashore to moult, and some animals can be seen here until April. In the winter months most adults stay at sea. They have been known to travel as far away as the Antarctic Peninsula, Argentine coast and are occasionally seen on the coast of Brazil. Sea Lion Island has long been an important site in the Falklands for breeding southern sea lions. Sea lions have suffered steep declines throughout the Falklands – in the 1930s over 80,000 pups were born each year in the Islands, compared with only 2,000 in the early 1990s. On Sea Lion Island they still breed in small numbers around the coast. They sometimes prey on penguins,but their main food is octopus, squid, lobster krill and fish. Be especially alert when walking through tussac grass where these large animals often haul out.

The killer whale is the largest member of the dolphin family. It has distinctive jet-black, brilliant white and grey markings with a huge dorsal fin on the male. They are typically seen in close-knit family groups known as pods. Members of a pod stay together for life. Two pods of killer whales have been identified off Sea Lion Island. Gentoo penguin The first consists of three large females, two juveniles and a small calf. The second pod includes two large males with three to four females. You can often see them at very close range, on the seaward side of outcropping rocks. There is an on going photo identification project at Sea Lion Island recording the killer whale activities. Gentoo penguins live on Sea Lion Island all year round. The Falkland Islands are one Magellanic penguin of the most important locations in the world for this species. Two large round eggs are laid from late October. The chicks will be ready to go to sea by the end of March. Magellanic penguins are known in the Falklands as the jackass penguin because of their braying call. They arrive here in September, but have left by April to migrate north as far as Brazil. They breed in underground burrows. Southern rockhopper penguin

To prevent the spread of invasive species and diseases, you are asked to comply with a few simple measures when travelling around the islands: make sure all of your clothing, equipment and luggage is free from soil, animal faeces, seeds, insects and rodents, and scrub your footwear before each visit to a new wildlife site or seabird colony. If you have any questions about biosecurity, or wish to report diseased wildlife, please speak to the landowners or call the Department of Agriculture 27355 / Falklands Conservation 22247 for advice.
