Galapagos - Baby sea lion 1

Monday 8 January 2007, Sombrero Chino island This is a baby sea lion, a little over a month old, walking among some German tourists. Sea lion mothers identify their babies by their smell, so our tour guide warned us to keep a respectful distance lest the baby pick up a foreign scent and be abandoned by the mother. These sea lions are dependent on mother's milk for a year, until they learn to fish, so an abandoned calf would surely die. The noisy sound comes from wind blowing into my camera microphone.

Galapagos - Baby sea lion 2

Monday 8 January 2007, Sombrero Chino island Another baby sea lion, this one about 3 weeks old. Galapagos sea lions are related to California sea lions. They differ from seals in that they propel themselves with their front flippers and steer with their back fins. The noisy sound is due to wind blowing into my camera microphone.

Galapagos - Marine iguanas 3

Tuesday 9 January 2007, Puerto Egas, Santiago island This is what marine iguanas do most of the time: sit in the sun until it's time to eat. They are the only species of iguana that can swim, and they eat seaweed for food. The Galapagos wildlife has evolved in bizarre ways.
