Sea lions and people continued...




The only altercation seemed to be when young tourists started trying to take buddy shots with the sea lions. (I hate to say it, but it was the classic stereo type of pretty girls in sun dresses and bikini’s who believe they can get away with anything…and sometimes can…). Signs say you should stay about 2 meters from the wildlife – these girls were closer to two feet! One of the girls happened to be skittish, but a local was quick to yank her hand and pull her closer to the sea lions than any of her friends had been. She thanks him with a beautiful Vana White pose. A crowd had gathered and sea lions barked with agitation at the close range models. A few looked like they might momentarily charge. Some of the younger sea lions who had been wandering on the perimeter were now very close to what I assume would be a mother. Fewer were in the water.

Authorities were also present - standing silently amongst the crowd. Watching the hot chicks disturb the sea lions but not saying anything. Men.
