A cute video has emerged of a sea lion pup playing on a beach alongside its mother on Rat Island, Australia last year.

"These cuties are the only endemic sealions in Australia, but also classified as Endangered," the filmer wrote online.

this video shows Australian sealions (Neophoca cinerea) on Rat Island, a key breeding colony in the Abrolhos Islands. These cuties are the only endemic sealions in Australia (meaning, they occur naturally nowhere else in the world) but also classified as Endangered (IUCN).

Although their population trends are declining, the Abrolhos still have some of the largest colonies. in this way, i was lucky enough to sit with this mum and her bub while they were having a drink of milk!! :)
