As opposed to the seals that had reserved a whole beach, the California Sea Lions (Zalophus californianus) had reserved a nice wide piece of rock. They were all stretched out in the sun and lying all over each other in one big snuggly mass. The seals like their space but the sea lions are all for free loving. This picture shows one of the new sea lion pups howling for Mom while another is busily draping himself over pup #1. Oh, and less you think they are too snugly, note that male sea lions reach 8 ft. in length and 860 lbs. Sea lions' natural predators are Orcas and White Sharks.
