This sea lion was having fun following us as we snorkeled. (Sea Lions have ears-seals do not)

Faraway Friday-My new Galapagos Friend
The Galapagos Seal Lion pup was soooo curious about us humans snorkeling. He just wanted to play. When they play with each other, they blow bubbles at each other. This one was darting around so fast all my other shots were just of tail. But on this pass he came STRAIGHT AT ME, knocked my mask off and blew bubble in my face! I only got the shot as a mostly defensive maneuver putting my camera in front and remembering to still shoot!
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.

Galapagos sea lions (they have no seals) are different from the california version with their ears…
