Introducing the Galápagos Sea Lion (or Beachmaster).
Weighing in at around 800lbs he might be a little cumbersome on the beach, but in the water he is as graceful as a ballet dancer. I just loved these guys and the females weren't bad either.:D In fact, wilst taking this shot and lying down on the beach, one female came up and laid next to me. It wasn't until she nudged me, that I realised I had company as they have no fear of man on the islands. Not quite up to speed on mouth hygiene, there are just great fun to watch and film.
Some might suggest to remove the fin to the right, well that's part of the animal and in the shot, so IMHO it stays in I think, but some might say it might be a cleaner image without?
