Sea Lions are quite interesting marine mammals with their long flippers, short, thick hair, long whiskers, torpedo shaped bodies and their small ear flaps. They are social, playful and intelligent. I was thrilled to capture this close up of the diving California Sea Lion.

In the #lawsuit filed last year, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity alleged the agency #failed to establish a plan to #protect the #whales from #deadly #entanglements in sablefish pot gear. In a December 2021 permit, #NOAA authorized "the incidental, but not intentional" take, or catch, of listed or #protected #MarineMammal #species in the #Washington , #Oregon & #California #sablefish pot fishery.

This California sea lion came down to say hello on a dive in the Gulf of California. We saw many of these charismatic creatures, with the females and juveniles coming over to check us out and blow bubbles at us while the big males patrolled the area making sure we didn't try any funny business.

I wonder if the recent series of deaths of Humpback Whales in USA NJ have any connection with #H5N1 ? It appears that the "expert" examination was just what any longshoreman or beach comber could do.

Baby Galápagos Sea Lion
Description: Young and cute and covered with a light fur, this baby sea lion is curious of all that is around them.
The Galápagos Sea Lion (Zalophus wollebaeki) is not totally endemic to the islands as they can be found...

Any guesses what #MarineMammal this tooth belongs to?
Working at #UniversityOfCapeTown this week going through the #LateStoneAge #HoffmansRobberg and #NelsonBayCave as I prep a permit for #StableIsotope analysis when I came across this identified by #zooarchaeologist Leesha Richardson.
