    Sea Lion (Featuring a Self Introduction) - Galapagos - Set 7

    Hi! I am the Galápagos Sea Lion. Humans say I'm majestic!

    I'm a friendly creature. What do I like most? Sleeping!! I can do it for several hours a day!

    Over the millennia, my feet evolved to powerful fins!

    Thanks to this evolution bless, I am a high skilled swimmer...

    Of course, I still can walk! Nice, ain't?

    But don't think I am a teddy bear. Look at my teeth...

    ...with them, I hunt my preys...

    ...and make them bleed till death!

    That was a cool post, Otavio. The closeups are really nice. But I love sea creatures captured in water so my favorite is the last one. Nice job.

    Great shots (again) Otavio, and a very good primer on the natural history of sea lions; there's a reason they're called sea lions and not sea pussy cats. I'm liking the last one the best, but #1 is also a great shot, especially with the crabs paying homage.

    Hello, Jack. I absolutely agree about why they are not called pussy cats! . They ate quite big fishes in front of my eyes. Thanks for visiting!
