Peninsular Valdes
- Argentina |

The coastline is
inhabited by marine
mammals, like
sea lions,
elephant seals and
fur seals.
Southern right whales can be found in Golfo Nuevo and Golfo
San José, protected bodies of water located between the
peninsula and the
Patagonian mainland. These
baleen whales come here between May and December, for mating
and giving birth, because the water in the
gulf is quieter and warmer than in the open sea.
Orcas can be found off the coast, in the open sea off the
peninsula. In this area, they are known to beach themselves on
shore to capture sea lions and elephant seals. |
