Steller Sea Lion

Eumetopias jubatus

Description:

This sea lion, like many others that hang around the commercial fishing boat docks, mistakenly thinks there is fish to eat because the boats pump out the water from their fish holds after offloading and the fish smell is very strong. This hopeful sea lion realized after a couple minutes there were no actual fish here and swam away.

Habitat:

Harbor where mostly commercial fishing boats dock
