At Fisherman’s Wharf in SF there is a sea lion observation deck. As we approached Cath reckoned there was a sea lion tape playing. It tuned to be hundreds of sea lions basking in the sunshine on pontoons just off the wharf.An even more natural environment for sea lions is a beach near San Simeon which they have decided to take over. To see hundreds of females and pups coming and going into the sea or just lazing in the sun was a privilege.
In Monterey, the aquatic mammal of choice is the sea otter. A bigger and cuter version of the river otter from back home, they were one of the man exhibits at the magnificent Monterey Bay Aquarium. As well as the three in captivity at the aquarium, the guide pointed out several playing happily just offshore in the Bay.
