Australia Fur Seal recovering from a suspected shark attack on a secluded Australian beach along the coast of the Southern Ocean

Australian Fur Seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) resting on a sandy beach along the Southern Ocean coast, Australia. The seal appears to be recovering, lying on its ventral side, with visible scars on its light brown, speckled skin. The sand is golden and coarse, with rocks visible in the background, indicating a natural, rugged shoreline. The seal's eyes are large and dark, and its body is robust and elongated, typical of pinnipeds. The setting suggests a remote, tranquil environment.
