smart sea lion, Feb.8.




On Feb. 7 we stopped for 2 nights in Cervantes, a seaside town north of Perth. On an evening walk to the jetty the sunset was beautiful. You can see in the sunset picture the 2 men fishing. The one on the left (let's call him the man with one leg, because he had one leg), was being bothered by a pesky sea lion, who we were delighted to see. Every time the one leg man caught a fish the sea lion would pull it off his line before he could reel it in. We found it hilarious of course but he was very unhappy. He moved to another spot down the jetty. Another fella took his spot and he had fun teaing the sea lion with his bait. The sea lion gave up on that guy and swam down to the one legged man. Smart creature.
