I took this in Valdez harbour in Alaska. The sea lions aren't stupid they wait at the release chute where the salmon are returned into the harbour, a real smorgasboard.
A sense of scale.
This sea lion is around 3 metres long and they average around 600kg and some have been recorded at 1100kg. The salmon would be at least 50cm long.
Why waste valuable energy when you've got it all figured out hey c: Wow Alaska, bet that was a trip to remember - well and truly on my bucket list for "one day" c:
