Does the Department for Environment and Heritage provide medical assistance to the Australian Sea-lions if required?
From time to time animals come ashore with injuries. All injuries and their cause are recorded in an Australian Sea-lion database. The type of assistance provided to the animal depends on the cause of the injury. Debris from an entanglement is removed. If an Australian Sea-lion comes ashore with an injury caused by natural means such as shark bite or a wound from fighting, the animal is left to recover in its own time. The Australian Sea-lion colony is a wild population and we have a policy to leave these natural processes as natural.
