fetch

galapagos sea lion - genovesa island - galapagos, ecuador

 

sea lions are very playful by nature. this one had a stick and seemed endlessly amused by tossing and then swimming after it. i watched him play that game for about 30 minutes; he eventually got as curious about me as I was about him so he swam up to the rock where I was sitting. I found a stick and threw it into the water. And of course, he took off after it!

 

amazing place, the galapagos - where else can you play fetch with a wild sea lion?
