amphitheater of mermaids

I estimate there were 100 to 200 sea lions perched all around on these rocks inside the cave. It is really an extraordinary natural site that suits them very well.

 

Unlike seals, who are quite clumsy on land, sea lions are able to rotate their hind flippers forward and use them like legs. Despite their size, I saw them nimbly climb up these steep and slippery rocks.

 

Just off to the right is the solitary rock on which the "sea princess" was posing, a natural stage if I ever saw one!
