Sea Lion Haulout

Hey everyone! The other day we went to Little Island in Stephen's Passage. There were SO many Steller Sea Lions at the haulout that we couldn't believe it. When we counted them, we found about 581 of them! Here's a panoramic image of the haulout.


Here's a closeup of some of the shenanigans.



You can see here that one of these sea lions is branded with a W on its side. There are several islands where these sea lions reside. Researchers have tried to keep track of some of them by branding.

Hope you enjoyed it!
