Sea Lion and Harbor Seal Pups

Wrong beach mate! This lone Sea Lion pup wandered among the Harbor Seals at Children’s Pool Beach in La Joya California. At this age the Harbor Seal pup at his feet is in no danger, but in fact Sea Lions are major predators of seals. Which is of course what makes this such an odd sight. Odder is the fact that the mother seals on the beach paid the Sea Lion pup no attention at all. I guess that also knew it was no threat at this age, but I would have expected a stronger response just on general principles. 🙂
