Sea Lions and Brel – Kindred Spirits

Brel?

Lounge in the sun. Take a few steps. Flop down. Swim in the sea. Repeat.

Such is the life of the Galapagos sea lion. Sound familiar?

Hundreds of sea lions line the rocky shores of most of the Galapagos Islands, and you don´t soon forget an interaction with one – or rather, with a colony of up to 100 of them.

Sea lions here are incredibly friendly- you can walk right up to them, and if you´re lucky, even swim with them. Of course, you need to avoid the large male ´bulls´ who are busy protecting their harem of up to 30 female sea lions. The other males, unlucky in love, congregate in more remote areas to wait out their days of bachelorhood.

Sound familiar? We thought so.
