May 9B, 2008 Slackin at low tide.
 

Wasn't sure the antler spam was the Friday ani mule shot so I figured I'll run this.

I caught this shot down at our City's wharf.

how do they get up there?
- climb? (nah),
- jump out of the water (clever)
- swim at high tide and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait

:eyebrow:

and the more important question: what do they taste like?

The living is good.

Do they smell ickie Bruce???

The beach where I went to see some, was on the nose totally. Apparently, they regurgitate the bones, skin etc that they cant digest.

I like that. Is that Aussie for "smells bad?"

I was downwind of a seal in N.Z. that smelled really reeally bad.

Bet there's some impressive snoring happening, too.

That was me in a seal costume. Sorry.

in the old wharf section of newport, oregon there is a resident colony of sea lions who live on and around the unused docks and pilings. i found them when i heard (and smelled) what sounded like an old man coughing up a lung made of 3 day old, rotting fish. which... i guess... is kind of what they were doing.

Looks like a bit of seal(ion?) cheesecake to me....

Ummm.....please excuse me Spuck, I was reading on of Bruce's IotD and assumed he had posted this one....:blush:

Uhuh :)

They have a faintly fishy flavor, like a bald eagle. And yet their meat is surprisingly stringy, much like a Siberian tiger's.

Kind of like a cross between manatee and Tazmanian tiger?

el fantastico
I likewise have visited Newport, made the mistake of staying in a waterfront motel across the inlet from the sealion hangout(haul out). Damn things kept us awake all night.

They jump. And really high to.

@ Spuck, your picture got stolen. :D
