2007 - 3 pups were born - two females, 3451 (Madeline) to 2580 (Teyah) and 3453 (Hine) to 0350 (Katya), and one male. The male was Mum's 11th pup. Mum is the matriarch of the Otago Coast, and the first sea lion to give birth here in over 200 years. Unfortunately for Mum's pup, Mum was absent for an extended period at a critical time in the wee guy's life. Although he was foster fed by 2578 (Lorelie) who had no new pup of her own, he lost condition and had to be put down. A sad occasion for all those involved.
2007 brings the surviving pup count in Otago to 25, from a total of 31 births.
