Sea Lions of British Columbia


It's always a thrill to spot wild animals
in British Columbia.
The Stellar sea lions range throughout
the Pacific Rim and use their  own
traditional haul out or resting sites
along the coast which can be 
anything from a sandy beach to
to remote rocky islands.
These powerful and beautiful
mammals eat
a variety of fishes, octopuses
and squid.  
The current wild population of
Watching them bask in the 
warm sunshine with eyes closed in sheer bliss
reminds us of how precious
our wildlife is here
in British Columbia.
