The Falkland Islands: Encounter of a Sealer with a Sea-Lion, in a Tussac Bog, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Falkland Islands: Encounter of a Sealer with a Sea-Lion, in a Tussac Bog, 1856. European attacking a sea-lion...in a Tussac bog. The male of the Falkland seal resembles in no slight degree in the head and mane the king of the forest. He is, when full grown, about ten feet long, and, although not disposed to make an attack, is a most formidable antagonist to come upon unawares in the thick groves of the Tussac, where, more particularly in the breeding seasons, he with his family are found. The female is scarcely one-half the size of the male, and is more gentle in disposition'. Tussac grass, which can grow up to 3m tall and live for 200 years or more, forms the single most important wildlife habitat in the Falklands. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
