A prominent, shaggy mane around their massive necks and shoulders. Known for a "lion-like" appearance, they have dark brown to reddish-brown fur, a broad snout, and an upturned nose. This one was shouting to let the others know it's his territory.

I just ran across my 2012 photo taken during a long day traipsing around #NobHill in San Francisco. This is the entrance of an apartment building that I almost passed by without pausing, until I noticed that the #terracotta guard lions on the entry plinths are #sealions. How about that for whimsy?

H5N1 in marine mammals is spreading: Research tallies over 50,000 seals and sea lions killed along South America's coast When the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was discovered on a poultry farm in Asia in 1996, there was little indication that it would become so widespread and so destructive.

For #AAG2026 geographers visiting #SanFrancisco who are done with travelling along corridors indoors I can recommend outdoors with #sealions at North Point, setting sun over the #GoldenGateBridge up #TelegraphHill and ditto from the Pacific side at #SutroBaths and #LandsEnd. Fabulous geography city

Massive Steller sea lion seen sunbathing at San Francisco's Pier 39 Humans aren't the only ones taking in the San Francisco sunshine ☀️ A Steller sea lion showed up Friday morning to the docks at Pier 39, making itself at home.

Not unusual to see #seals and #sealions sunbathing at San Francisco's Pier 39, but right now there is an extra large pinniped making itself at home. A #Steller sea lion showed up Friday morning and it is big - as you can see in these pictures. abc7news.com/post/massive...

Beauty gathers in the quiet places where nature rests.
Even simple moments of togetherness can soften the day.
You feel the calm settle in as life finds its easy rhythm.
Joy rises gently from the stillness nature offers.

Belugas facing euthanasia at shuttered Canada theme park may find new homes in US For about three decades, beluga whales and bottlenose dolphins greeted more than a million annual visitors to Marineland of Canada. In the sprawling 162-hectare (400-acre) theme park, located a stone’...

Wild places thrive when we move through them with care.
Every creature holds its own quiet place in the world.
When we honor that space, the shoreline feels more alive.
Respect becomes the way we keep these moments possible.

At Pier 39 in Fisherman's Wharf, do nothing but quietly listen to the sea lions' soft calls. Nothing could be more healing than this. #SeaLions

A pod of sea lions lazing on a green buoy in the middle of Puget Sound, with Kingston in the background, behind haze and fog thick enough to obscure the Olympic Mountains behind it. One sea lion is in the water and its body is elongated as it tries to get on the buoy while another barks at it to keep it away.
