NAMIBIA PART 8: CHRISTMAS AT CAPE CROSS

ON CHRISTMAS DAY WE TOOK THE SALT ROAD TO THE NORTH TO SEE THE SEALS AND MORE AT CAPE CROSS. THE NEXT FEW PHOTOS WILL TELL THE STORY OF CAPE CROSS. LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND IT DIFFICULT TO READ AND IF I NEED TO ADD TEXT

I  TOOK NUMEROUS PHOTOS OF THE SEALS. THE SEALS GIVE BIRTH BETWEEN MID NOVEMBER TO MID DECEMBER AND IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE MANY SEAL CUBS. IT IS AMAZING THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO REACT TO THEIR MOTHERS' CALLING AND FIND THEM BY SMELL. THE BABIES STAY TOGETHER IN GROUPS WHILE THE PARENTS HUNT FOR FOOD IF NOT SUCKLING THE CUBS.

APART FROM THE SEALS IT WAS ALSO INTERESTING TO SEE THE TABLES WITH SALT CRYSTALS ALONG THE ROAD WHERE PEOPLE TRY TO SELL THEM DEPENDING ON THE "HONESTY" OF THE BUYERS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO VENDORS TO BE SEEN NEAR OR AT THE TABLES.
