Animals have been popping up on golf courses and surfing contests in Dunedin as they reestablish a foothold on the South Island

Two sea lions gave birth on a golf course, another swam alongside competitors in a surfing contest. Others have been spotted crossing roads as Dunedin’s sea lion “silly season”, which runs from mid-December to mid-January, is in full swing.
