Extreme Persistance. This was taken a couple of months ago at Moss Landing, Ca. A boat and pedestrian dock has been taken over by Sea Lions. Space was at a premium, with some sea lions stacked three high; but these were the smaller and all about the same size. Now the big bulls slept in comfort, they just pushed the smaller ones aside and made their own room. And if one tried to crawl on top the old bulls just shook them off. EXCEPT one very persistant, and for a Sea Lion a very pretty young thing. She tried to crawl up, and was thrown off. Then she started her wiles, she just eased in beside him, then leaned, then put her head on him, then with no resistance from the Bull, or perhaps some communication passed between the two that I did realize, she put her head further onto him, then later eased up her front flippers on him, and then laid her head down again, (Do Sea Lions whisper sweet nothings to each other?), then more of her torso and weight on the bull, and finally a last dainty lunge and was completely on top. I am sure the Bulls blubber felt better than any memory foam mattress, and self heated too!!! A Sea Lion Princess who knows how to get her way. . .
The camera is a Kodak EasyShare 612
LOLLLLLLLLLLL The things we females have to do to even get a piece of the bad.
