A playful picture of a baby sea lion taken in the tide pools of the Galapagos.
I think it's a sea lion it sure looks like it you could be famous their endangered! :•
Hi Rinat, I'm pretty sure this is a sea lion. The fur seals have much larger eyes.
This spotting was on the island of Fernandina and there were many around. This was the baby of the group, just being playful :-)
Nice shot! - From this angle it's hard to tell, but the light color would indicate that it is a juvenile Galapagos Sea Lion (Zalophus wollebaeki). Where did you do the spotting and were there other seals around?
