Sea Lion Puppies

This was captured in Galapagos, and features some puppies with just a few days old. They were very playful with each other, and with us around them. This was show in Bartolomé Island, during a day trip. Their father was around and with his 500 pounds, sounded very scary to us, so, every once in a while, he came around and we got away from his puppies. But he never threatened any of the tourists, sounded more like just a fair warning. The water in this area is very cold, but with their thick fur, they don't seem to bother about that. It was mid-November and the weather was usually hot.
