Owha is a leopard seal that has been visiting New Zealand waters since roughly 2012 and is now pretty much a permanent resident who just cruises between different harbours and bays

Owha is short for her Māori name “He owha nā ōku tūpuna” which translates to mean “treasured gift from our ancestors”

she’s a bit of a local celebrity - leopard seal sightings are reported to a team of marine biologists in NZ, and they give us all the good Owha updates about where she is and what she’s doing + photos people have taken (she’s identifiable by two scars on her flank)

she’s also been a source of quite a bit of drama too - she’s very friendly and inquisitive and playful. she’s unfortunately deflated a few inflatable boats in the harbour as well as occasionally pulled pieces off of boats. as a result, the boaties have demanded she be sedated and returned to antarctica

late last year/early this year, someone shot owha in the face, which was extremely upsetting to say the least. what I am glad to report though is that she’s made a full recovery and is still doing her thing!

I had a dream that there was a seal in our garden, which was not great for the seal so we went on an adventure to find him at least a lake

Hello everyone,

Tumblr has proven to be an excellent resource in finding missing persons.

We are appealing to you, especially those in Scotland, but anyone can reblog.
