Seals at Pisco - Peru - Islas Ballestas

This clip was shot in Pisco in Peru on the 08/07/2003. Though the islands cant possibly live up to the locals touting of them as the "Peruvian Galapagos," the Ballestas do afford tantalizing close-up views (without allowing visitors on the islands) of the habitat's rich roster of protected species, including huge colonies of barking sea lions, endangered turtles and Humboldt penguins, red boobies, pelicans, turkey vultures, and red-footed cormorants.
