We headed to El Salvador with family while Gila stayed in AZ with her bestie. I still got my dog fix with the local pups—at one point, a whole pack joined us on a hike. 🐕🇸🇻

The thickened muscular neck and chest of the older Steller sea lion on the right help protect him from serious injury when he’s fighting for or defending a territory at the breeding rookeries.

Hey, who turned on the washing machine? It looks rough to us, but it’s no problem for harbour seals!

Harbour seals come in many colours, from silver and brown to dark grey like this one. But there’s one thing almost all of them have in common—spots!

Somehow harbour seals make lying on barnacle-encrusted rock look comfortable! Must be all that extra padding!

The cooler weather is no problem for these well-insulated harbour seals. They’re wrapped in a blubber layer up to 2.7 cm thick, or just over one inch!

Move over #GrumpyCat. You have competition from this California sea lion which we found resting mid-strait in a clump of floating kelp. We took a good look to make sure it wasn’t entangled and then left it to its slumbers!

We often use the term “logging” for when a whale is resting at the surface. But this young harbour seal is taking the term literally!

These resting harbour seals are doing some people-watching from their haulout at Trial Island!

For all you parents out there—this is how you’re probably feeling as you count down the days to back-to-school!

A curious harbour seal checks us out as we drift by. Fun fact: at rest, seals keep their nostrils closed and must intentionally open them to breathe!

We’ve had some very low tides lately, which is just fine with the local harbour seal population. They get to have sleepy time on a bed of eelgrass instead of a mattress of hard rock and sharp barnacle and mussel shells!

Vandaag op de fiets door Marrakech met een local gids. Geen paleizen, wel hammam-ovens, buurtbakkers en échte verhalen. Een bijzondere tour die locals opleidt tot gids of fietsenmaker. #MeetTheLocals #Marrakech #FietsenInMarokko

A harbour seal keeps an wary eye on us as we drift by. With a constant stream of hungry Bigg’s killer whales coming through the area at this time of year, situational awareness is a good strategy for harbour seals!

March 4, morning education tour, Wild 4 Whales: This harbour seal was feeling a little “tired” so hauled out for a rest!

Spotted during our "Exploring the Salish Sea" education tour: “Thank you humans for putting this comfy flat rock here. We’re enjoying it very much. What’s that you say about a sign? Bah, it says ‘no unauthorized persons,’ not sea lions!”

Spotted during our recent "Exploring the Salish Sea" education tour: Steam rises from the wet fur of a recently hauled-out harbour seal as it basks in the early spring sunshine at Race Rocks.

A California sea lion frolics with some buddies at Race Rocks. When they’re not sleeping or eating, sea lions like to hang out in gangs and play like this.

Jan, 21, education tour, Wild 4 Whales: Ahhhh! Doesn’t the blissful expression on this harbour seal’s face look like how you feel as you plonk yourself on the couch at the end of a long work day?

The coat of Steller sea lions is a reddish brown, and the late afternoon sun accentuates it! Aren’t you glad you’re not the sea lion underneath the middle of this blubbery heap? You can see the tip of its nose poking out!
