Nz Fur seal

New Zealand Fur Seal



Introduction:
New Zealand fur seals normally dive for prey for up to one or two minutes though some individuals have been know to dive to almost 400 meters and to stay underwater for more than 14 minutes in one go. Pups will spend a lot of time playing with each other and with objects like seaweed and reef fish. The scientific name was Arctocelphalus Arctocephalus forsteri.

Diet:
Kekeno ( Nz fur seal ) eat a variety of creatures like squid, mid water fish, conger eels, barracuda, Jack mackerel and hoki. These seals mostly forage at night, using their whiskers to locate their meals.

Predators:
Nz fur seals predators are Juvenile fur seal, Orcas, and worst of all Great White Sharks and Sevengill Sharks. But lucky they kekenos can go on land and sharks cant. As the sharks attack the Kekeno, theKekeno swim fast as lightning

Habitat:
These Kekeno live on rocky shores and land. They sleep on land at night and what I said in the introduction they can stay underwater for more than 14 minutes in one go.

Conclusion:
A New Zealand fur seal is an excellent swimmer. Juveniles have been located at more than 1000 km from where they were born.

It was freezing cold in Alaska. Reed the strong one, Jaedyn the bag carrer, and Wairangi the fearless one were hiking the rocky, teitei maunga. Until it started to hail Reed, Jaedyn, and Wairangi Climbed up high until they came to a gigantic, dark, spooky, cave.They all decided to camp there the night Reed spectated around to see if there was anything dangerous. Reed saw the shiny, flashing light around the corner and the flashing light was crystals, rubies, and diamonds. Reed hurdled to Jaedyn, and Wairangi to tell them that Reed discovered crystals,rubys rubis  rubies and diamonds. They all went around to search it and Jaedyn, and Wairangi said, “woah this is awesome we can be rich grabbing this.” But Jaedyn went to go sit on this bunch of snow to see if the crystal was real but Jaedyn was sitting on a huge, white, hairy yeti. The yeti woke up and chased Reed, Jaedyn, and Wairangi to there boat and sailed away very, very, very fast.  They were lucky they made it out with crystals, rubies, and diamonds.

Story 2 :

As the strong tāne was lying on his back underwater in the huge aquarium, the mangō taniwha was heading towards him. The tāne kept very, very, very still so that he didnt get eataen eaten. The tāne grabbed the shark some food for the mangō taniwha. So the tāne feed him but something else was wrong. One of the bones got stuck in his throat so the enormous shark couldn’t breathe. The strong tāne didnt know what to do so the tāne grab him squeeze the shark in the stomach. Then this bone came out of his mouth and it had blood on it. The tāne saw the blood spread so he jumped out of the tank then refilled it. He was lucky he didn’t get the germs.

Story 3 :
My favourite part of me is my feet because they help me run very fast. They help me walk when I was a baby. They also help me stomp around when Im mad. When I get older they will be big and strong. Also they help me hari to music. That's why my legs are the best part of me
