Barking sea lions in West Vancouver announced their return to winter here before returning to California this spring as shared in North Shore News. Apparently a very gregarious bunch with a pungent smell and a bark that, if you make them feel threatened, is not worse than their bite. Experts advise, appreciate these both lumbering but elegant swimmers from a distance of 100m, about one city block, as required by federal law. Their vacation spot is minutes from Lion’s Bay, so neighbours can’t really complain about their choice of location.
Also, taking centre stage in Tacoma’s Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium is this pretty amazing Sea Lion ballet beneath the water courtesy of CTV News:
