Wildlife Wednesday-Galapagos Sea Lion

We learned that the difference from a Galapagos Sea LION and a California seal is that it has ears (which you can see on this singing lil dude). He was just singing away, not afraid of anyone in the group. This was taken from about 12 ft away on the trail that we were required to stay on.

A whale’s tail

Got this fun shot of a baby grey whale at whale cove on the Oregon coast. It was swimming with its mom and at the time we thought it was the tale of one and the other’s face. But later we learned from a docent that these huge whales can curve up like a banana (or more). So now I think it was just the baby. WE were so surprised how close to the rock they kept.

Practice makes perfect..

You can see all of the red fish swimming around him. He actually catches one this time.

He’s pushing it to the ground to gain control. The seagulls seem to know when a bear has caught one and begin swooping down.

The fish is still flipping and flopping wildly.

You could hear the crunching of bones…we were THAT CLOSE! This bear ate it right there on the spot…
