Pinniped Pinnipeds Relaxation Sealion Sealions Marine Mammal Marine Mammals
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the tranquility of two Steller or Northern Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) basking on the rocks in the pristine waters of Johnstone Strait, British Columbia, Canada. The rugged coastline of this North American region provides a perfect setting for these magnificent marine mammals to rest and relax between their dives for food. Sea lions are a type of pinniped, which means they are part of the larger group of animals that includes seals and walruses. They are known for their external ear flaps and large front flippers, which help them maneuver in the water. The Steller Sea Lion is the largest species of earless seal and can weigh up to 1,400 pounds (635 kg). They are social animals that form large colonies, often numbering in the thousands, on rocky shores and islands. This photograph by M. Watson from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment offers a rare glimpse into the peaceful side of these fascinating marine creatures. It is important to remember that these animals are wild and should be admired from a distance to ensure their safety and well-being.
