Pakake the New Zealand sea lion was once found along the entire length of the Aotearoa New Zealand coast and subantarctic islands. Their numbers were greatly impacted by human predation. Until recently they have been reported on the Aotearoa mainland only as stragglers from the subantarctic islands. This video explores the return of pakake to mainland Aotearoa.
