Our welcoming committee - also known as the Three Wise Lions
one more time and I'll bite it!
This poor little guy was really having a problem
He had lost
his mom and was wandering the beach looking for her
Yes, even though they were on the same beach, they seemed to separate into family units.
One would look up, and growl at him and he would waddle rapidly off.
Guess he was being told, no your mom ain't here, get lost kid.
If he didn't leave fast enough, one of the lions would actually lunge at him.
swam up to the beach from the sea. Guess she had been out fishing.
It actually was about two hours that he wandered the beach.
I have searched this beach for you.
I got barked at, growled at and almost got
my head bit off.
You don't know how bad its been!
I'm starving! Finially, Lunch.
Guess it was all worth
it now
that Mom's here.
This guy swam
with us from one beach to another for a long time.
Probably over two miles. He would dive under the Zodiac and
pop
up on the other side. Occasionally disappear for a minute or so and
then rejoin us.

It appeared as though he was trying to get in!

I'm treating the boys on the beach
to a beer, at the bar !
The Galapagos Fir Seal (lion) is not as gregarious as the sea lion, preferring
to spend their time sleeping in rocky outcroppings and fishing at night.
We woke this one up with the sound of our Zodiac
engine.
Hope the beer is cold!
