Hanging out with Sea Lions
Day two on the Valdes Peninsula, we went out to play with the Sea Lions! We were literally sitting within 20 feet of these HUGE things! It was amazing! The big males were too busy keeping track of their harems, to take much notice of us. But every once in a while a juvenile male would make a move for some females, and a battle would ensue. A couple of times, the juveniles would come behind us, and the GIANT males would lunge at the juvenile, more or less straight at us! Yikes!
