Soaring majestically above the oceans between Australia and Africa, the shy albatross appears not to have a care in the world. Breeding only on Australian islands, it can live for up to 40 years and enjoys the partnership of a life-long mate.
Pairs are faithful –to each other and their breeding sites on just three remote islands off Tasmania. They breed annually and produce a single egg, which is incubated for 72 days. Both parents tend the demanding chick for the first five months of its life and that fledgling will return to the same breeding colony when it matures, but not until at least three years of age.

Print Size: 80cm x 60cm
The southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) is one of two species of elephant seals. It is the largest member of the clade Pinnipedia and the order Carnivora, as well as the largest extant marine mammal that is not a cetacean. It gets its name from its massive size and the large proboscis of the adult male, which is used to produce very loud roars, especially during the breeding season.
The pups were not twins but obviously made the most of each other's body warmth. Here, they are approximately 2 months old.

Tasmanian Masked Owls (Tyto novaehollandiae castonops)
Tasmanian Masked Owls are not only large, but robust. They weigh up to 1.26 kilograms with a wingspan of up to 129 centimetres. Their plumage is mainly a variable combination of browns and greys, generally darker than the other Australian subspecies. Females are considerably darker, as well as larger, than the males. They have broad, black-bordered, buff to chestnut facial discs, and fully feathered legs with powerful feet and long talons. The owls hunt at night, preying on a wide range of animals, from insects to mammals as large as rabbits, bandicoots and brushtail possums.

Humpback whale and calf (Megaptera novaeangliae)
Humpback whales are a baleen whale and are renowned for their spectacular 'breaching' behaviour. Most humpback whales make exceptionally long journeys every year between their feeding and breeding sites. Females typically breed every two or three years. The gestation period is 11.5 months. The peak months for birth are January, February (Northern Hemisphere), July and August (Southern Hemisphere). Females wait for one to two years before breeding again. Humpbacks can travel up to 8 km/h but during their long migration journey they average only 1.6km/h, resting and socialising along the way.

With its combination of royal-blue plumage on its upperparts contrasting with orange on its underparts, the Azure Kingfisher is one of the smallest and most dazzling kingfishers in Australia. This diminutive species inhabits the vegetation beside waterways and other wetlands, where it often perches on low, overhanging branches, searching for its prey of fish, crustaceans and aquatic insects, captured by shallow plunging into the water. Anglers on lonely rivers are sometimes surprised to find an Azure Kingfisher perched quietly on their fishing rods instead of a branch.
