Sealions

Wildlife is special and always be protect, but you have to remember an average male sea lion is from 7 to 8 feet long and can weigh from 700 to 1,200 pounds. It is unique to see them upclose, but feeding them is NOT recommended. Even as big as they are, they can move quick. So keep an eye on your little ones. The locals appreciate wildlife, but certain times of the years they have become a nuisance by sunning on the docks and barking all night. So please do the locals favor and do not feed them because this encourages them to come back.

You couldn't see the young lady trying to get a picture of this sea lion behind the boat, but it did make us laugh because she was holding out her camera with very stretched out arms trying to get an upclose picture. I told one of the gentlemen on his boat, "I guess she forgot she probably has a zoom feature on her camera. We giggled at that.
