Official synopsis Publisher
Los lobos marinos fueron explotados masivamente hasta el año 1950, para derretir su grasa y usarla como combustible en lámparas de iluminación de las calles. La ciudad de Buenos Aires utilizó este sistema. Se prohibió la caza en la década del ’50, y hoy son un atractivo turístico en las áreas protegidas de nuestra Patagonia, donde el acceso desde tierra facilita la visita a las colonias o apostaderos estivales e invernales: Punta Norte en Península Valdés y Punta Loma a escasos quince kilómetros de Puerto Madryn. La presencia de diferentes especies de aves marinas en los apostaderos de lobos marinos enriquece el encanto de estos mamíferos, sumamente simpáticos y sociables.
