5. Seals occupied: Syr Island, South Africa and Ohao Falls, New Zealand

Seals often play and fight on the beaches of the island, and sometimes yell as if they are bickering. However, because of the large number of seals here, it is natural to attract great white sharks who love to eat seals, so the surrounding waters are called the “circle of death”.
In addition, in Kaikoura, South Island, New Zealand, in order to stay away from marine predators such as killer whales, parents of seals chose Ohao Falls about 1.6 kilometers from the coast to raise newborn baby seals, making it a nursery for baby seals. For a month, a large number of seals gathered for fun.
