The document provides information about Australian fur seals that live in a large colony at Seal Rocks near Phillip Island, Victoria. It describes fur seals as mammals that belong to a group called pinnipeds and have hair and feed their young milk. There are two species found at Seal Rocks - Australian fur seals and occasionally New Zealand fur seals. The colony at Seal Rocks makes up around 25% of the total Australian fur seal population. Visitors can view the seals from The Nobbies lookout or take a boat tour closer to Seal Rocks to see the seals up close.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

otariids (eared seals)
phocids (true seals)
As you look out over Bass Strait from The Nobbies,
you see the rocky outcrop known as Seal Rocks. It is a
special place where a large colony of Australian fur seals
frolic, live and breed.
WHEN IS A SEAL NOT A SEAL?
Seals belong to a group of animals called pinnipeds.
They are mammals which means they have hair and
feed their young on milk - just like humans.
Fur seals are otariids (eared seals). They have tiny ears
and use both pairs of flippers when‘walking’on land -
unlike phocids (true seals) who have no ears and can’t
use their rear flippers for‘walking’.
Australian fur seal
New Zealand fur seal
AUSTRALIAN OR KIWI
There are 2 species of fur seals that can be seen in the
waters around Seal Rocks. Australian fur seals are the
main species but occasionally a New Zealand fur seal
may also be seen here. Can you tell the difference?
New Zealand fur seals have a slightly steeper forehead,
more whiskers and pointier front flippers amongst
other less discernable differences.

Australian sea lions are another of the‘eared seals’.
However, they are not seen in the waters around Seal
Rocks. The main differences are that the outer two
digits on its flippers are longer (they are the same size
in fur seals), short hair with a lack of dense under-fur,
broader, flatter snout than fur seals and are slightly
larger than fur seals.
SEAL STATISTICS (average)
MALE (Bull)
Length 200 – 225cm
Weight 220 – 360kgs
Colour dark brown to brownish grey with a lighter
coloured‘mane’on the back.
FEMALE (Cow)
Length 125 – 170cm
Weight 36 – 110kgs
Colour light brown to pale grey with a fawn or cream
throat
Newborn (Pup)
Length 73cm
Weight 7- 8 kg
Colour black when newborn up to 3 - 4 months then
moult into silver, grey pelage.
IT’S A SEALS’LIFE
Seal pups are born in late spring (Oct-Nov), each
cow has a single pup. Pups are dependant on their
mother’s milk until they are 8 - 10 months old. Female
seals mature at about 3 - 4 years old and may raise
a pup every year until they die. On average a female
Australian fur seal may live to about 20 years of age.
Males mature when they are about 6 years of age but
are not big enough to hold breeding territories until
they are about 9 years of age. Male Australian fur seals
live to about 15 - 18 years of age.
A DAY AT SEAL ROCKS
Seals of all ages need to feed then rest ashore for
several days. The number of seals seen at Seal Rocks
varies with time of year, tide, temperature and time of
day. For example if conditions are rough at sea more
seals come ashore to rest, but in calm and hot weather
more seals go swimming. Seals spend their days
swimming, rolling and diving for squid, cuttlefish and
small fish. Australian fur seals do not eat Little Penguins.
They have excellent underwater vision and can dive to
200m. It is thought they are able to detect vibrations
from prey with their sensitive whiskers.

THE YEAR AT SEAL ROCKS
October
Females go on long foraging trips, big males return to
joust for territories. A large breeding male may attract
up to 9 females to become his‘harem’.
November
Females return and give birth to a single pup, on
average there may be about 9 females per single
territorial male.
December
Peak of pupping. Males will mate with the females in
their‘harem’. In late December the breeding season
ends and the large breeding males leave Seal Rocks.
January
Pups learn to swim, females undertake short trips
returning to suckle pups.
February
Pups growing strong and their fur begins to turn brown.
March
Moulting begins, many seals rest ashore for long
periods.
April to July
Pups growing strong, seals coming and going.
August
Pups learning to catch fish for themselves
September
Pups starting to be weaned from their mother’s milk.
SEAL ROCKS
Seal Rocks provides an important breeding area and
nursery for around 25,000 Australian fur seals. That is
about 25% of the total population at one place. At any
given time there will be between 3 - 8000 seals.
A HARD LIFE ON THE ROCK
In the early 1800’s seals were hunted throughout
the Bass Strait region including Seal Rocks. Sealers
became the first Europeans to live in Victoria in order
to pursue their quarry. By 1825 these sealers had all but
decimated the seal population at Seal Rocks. For over
a century seals suffered at the hands of the occasional
hunting party and fishermen who perceived the seals
as a threat to their productivity. In order to protect a
dwindling seal population the Government created a
wildlife reserve at Seal Rocks in 1928 and seal hunting
was banned in Victorian waters.
It has taken a long time for the seal population to
recover but unfortunately the seals are still under
threat from human activity. Pollution, outboard motors,
commercial and recreational fishing tackle occasionally
‘tangles’with seals, often resulting in serious injury or
death.
Phillip Island Nature Parks regularly help these seals by
removing entanglements when visiting seal rocks.
RESEARCH
Since 1966, small research teams have visited Seal
Rocks to study the seal’s reproductive behaviour and
diet. Many seals were tagged for identification. Phillip
Island Nature Parks continue to study the diet and
foraging behaviour (using satellite tracking devices) of
the Australian fur seal at Seal Rocks.
A CLOSE UP ON THE ACTION
You can view the seals from The Nobbies (binoculars
essential). The Visitor Centre has remotely operated
cameras and large screens which project a close up
of the seal colony and the seals. For a close up and
personal wildlife experience, take a charter boat out
to Seal Rocks. Phone Wildlife Coast Cruises for details
(03) 5952 3501
NOTE:
If you see an injured seal, please leave it where it is and inform the
Phillip Island Nature Park rangers. Please call 59512800.
Even a sick seal can inflict a nasty bite. The seals best chance for
survival is to rest then return to the sea when it is ready.
