The ODT headline says "Drivers urged to look out for sea lions on coastal roads". This is good advice because mummy sea lions with their babies are active on land at this time of year, keeping away from randy males.

The story is about sea lions, but the sign in the photo clearly says "Seals". Given the healthy number of local sea lion births this year, the ODT surely missed the opportunity to use a "New seal" sign. ;-)

An ODT headline says "Drivers urged to look out for sea lions on coastal roads". The accompanying photo shows a road sign warning of seals.

Mature male Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) on the coast of Vancouver Island. Adult males are 2.7 to 3.1 m and weigh 400 to 800 kg. I am amazed how they are able to crawl on rocky cliffs given their huge weight.

“These charismatic animals are naturally curious and are not afraid of people; if one approaches, you are best to make yourself as boring as possible …” 😆

Advice on what to do if you come across a sea lion, who sometimes turn up in unexpected places in Ōtepoti as their population here grows!

Prevalence of Chinook #salmon is higher for southern than for northern resident killer #whales in summer hot-spot feeding areas journals.plos.org/plosone/arti

"What makes their struggles all the stranger is that they are the only marine mammal in their ecosystem that is struggling—harbor #seals are thriving, as are other whales, #porpoises and #SeaLions"

OMG y'all almost forgot to post these sea lions. Theres a fenced cutout on the Riverwalk by the Bowline Hotel where they can haul out and you can get close. Here they are in all their comfy snoozing glory but you will have to imagine the snorting barking huffing occasional snarling shifting complaining that goes on more or less ceaselessly while other sea lions swim around and complain that there's no room for them. #phoneography #photography #astoriaoregon #wildlife #sealions

A pile of sea lions lying on a floating dock just below a pier on the Columbia River in Astoria Oregon. The river, very blue, is visible past the sea lions. There are ferns and other plants growing out of some of the pilings around the dock.
