Species: Sea Lion | Location: Gardner Bay On Española Island In The Galapagos, Ecuador
During our Galapagos tour in 2022 we were lucky enough to have Josy Cardoso as our guide. Josy was fantastic as she was not only passionate about showing us her country and teaching us about the islands and their inhabitants, but also about conservation and caring for the animals. In this instance she was documenting the fact that the sea lion on the right had a large mass on its abdomen so she could report it. None the less, it's fun to think that the sea lion on the left was striking a pose for the photo.
