  2. I left Internet sea lions to go see some real ones

    Went to look for Chonkers but he was not there (apparently first thing in the morning is best)

  3. After Monday's news that our small colony of penguins had been wiped out by a dog attack, it's good to hear some positive wildlife stories from the Dunedin area.

    Otago's pakake (NZ sea lion) population is slowly growing and on its way to becoming a breeding colony. For DOC to declare that status, at least 35 pups must be born for five consecutive seasons.

    Coyly, the story only refers to "more than 35 pups" being born this year.

  4. 🦦🌊 Chonkers is a massive Steller sea lion currently sunning himself at Pier 39 in #SanFrancisco, alongside much smaller #California #sealions. This #guide explains how to identify the species through their size, color, and low-frequency vocalizations.

  6. @LibertyForward1 I left Xitter because of the #ReplyGuy influx. On Facebook there were a lot of #SeaLions & because I was an activist fighting Gun Violence, they would pop up & just want to have an honest "conversations."

    I fell for it a few times until my friends in the Anti-Gun violence movement clued me in to just post memes back at them.

    Here's link to the classic #sealion cartoon by David Malki! (He spells his name with an exclamation point, like so: David Malki!) wondermark.com/c/1062/

  11. It is not because of the few thousand francs which would have to be spent to put a roof over the third-class carriages or to upholster the third-class seats that some company or other has open carriages with wooden benches. What the company is trying to do is to prevent the passengers who can pay the second class fare from traveling third class; it hits the poor, not because it wants to hurt them, but to frighten the rich. And it is again for the same reason that the companies, having proved almost cruel to the third-class passengers and mean to the second-class ones, become lavish in dealing with first-class passengers. Having refused the poor what is necessary, they give the rich what is superfluous.

  12. Young sea lions playfighting during the annual herring spawn in March on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
    Lots of fun to watch how agile they are in the water and how they play together, pretending to bite each other and barking for no particular reason. I feel very lucky to witness this type of natural and carefree behaviour so close to home.

  13. 'Here's a shot of me me with my back to a two tonne mammal which moves faster on land than most people and can destroy seals.'

    Why are people so dumb?

  14. It's funny that people are concerned about being exposed to a naked body on the Internet, but they're not concerned about the ramifications of being exposed to this onslaught of commercialism from an early age and its impact on the value systems of children.
