I cannot describe how much fun the baby sea lions (and sea lions in general) are. In the Galapagos Islands, Argentina, and most other countries where I have been able to interact with them they have just been so much fun. Most time they are very active in the water and love to play when you are around. This goes for the females and babies. The males are very aggressive and you should stay away from them at all costs. Then they are on land they aren’t as curious and most times they are either relaxing or trying to get in and out of the water. This little guy however was putting on a complete show. I can’t wait to process the video of the endless amount of times that they have come up to us. It reminds me of the time where I was able to scuba dive with this guys in Argentina. Make sure to check out Quasar Expeditions which invited us to the islands. I truly can’t recommend another company as we had an exceptional time with them. Feel free to try and caption this photo!

I have been photo bombed by dog, ducks, sea gulls, kids, cats, canaries and everything else I can think of. A seal would be a new one.
The seal looks like he is guarding the beach. I would have to say, “Do you have a reservation”?
Too cute!!
That’s pretty cute I have to admit!
awww I want one!
Fantastic picture! I so love baby sea lions. The ones in the Galapagos have no fear at all.
That seal face is very cute!!!! So adorable!
“Thou shall not pass.”
Wow! That is one adorable baby sea lion!
Great photo, I would love to go to the Galapagos Islands and see them for myself!
How close are you allowed to get to them?
Does tourism have any impact on their everyday lives?
From what I remember I think it was 6-8 feet or so. We had some animals actually come up to us as well which was very cool. I think tourism does play a part in their lives but they are very strict to limit that as much as possible.
This is really too cute..!!! Well I wonder, What if we see one and try to play with them and later gets to know.. that’s a male..!!
What a cutie! I would love to discover the Islands of Galapagos!
Amazing picture! That closure experience is very cute!!!! So adorable! I so really like child sea tigers. The ones in the Galapagos have no worry at all. Thanks for sharing.
I’m afraid to get too close to the sea lions as I know they could roll over and probably crush me. Though this little guy is adorable.
Haha that’s so cute!
Amazing such amazing creature
Wonderful pictures, and wonderful memories. Thank you for giving us a look into something so beautiful and personal!
This is so awesome. I can’t wait to see your video footage of them.
Beautiful picture of a seal. I love animals, especially water mammals. That is a great photo. The seal looks so curious. Thanks for posting it.
Ay madre qué graciosos los leones marinos!! La carita que tienen como de tontitas! Un saludo y nos leemos, te esperamos por nuestro blog!
Very cute photo. I had one baby seal in New Zealand come up and sniff my foot. 🙂
Wow that’s an Amazing pic of baby sea lions. Adorable for sure 🙂
Great picture. I just like how the sea lion just sits there and stands still so you can take the picture. Like he knew that this picture will get him famous on your site!
Wawww, lovely!!! Should be a very nice trip. Great photo 😉
“Tea will not be served until after you have cleaned your feet.”
“What are you looking at” 😀
Cuteness! I used to live in a seaside town in New Zealand that had tons of seals. They could get quite aggressive on land where they felt out of their comfort zone but were always playful & friendly with the divers in the water where they felt at ease.
Haha yes! This is probably one of the best photo bombs I ever and cutest. I come across seals pretty often but never anything like this. The Galapagos are on my list for places to visit in the next five years and I really really hope to have at minimum this kind of run in with a wildlife.
What an amazing pic…….
Great picture! I showed it to my little daughter and she couldn’t stop looking at it:) Very cute! Great blog – keep going!
He’s obviously waiting for you to write his cardboard sign…”Disabled veteran seal down on his luck. Any fish will help…”
It’s adorable. Very nice photo!
Cutie with a nice fur coat on 🙂
But I wouldn’t dare getting close to one of these “doggies”, I bet they bite on hard. And mummy is probably patrolling the area.
Caption: so tell me, why did you intrude our kingdom of seal-vilisation?
So cute…I want to hug him
