Playful Sea Lions

Seal Jumps On Guy's Boat And Makes A Friend

poolcleaner says...

My reaction would be to make the sea lion my new pet.

I would take him home in my car, fill up my bathtub, dump him in, and then go to Petco and buy him some dog food, a sea lion sized collar and a little dog bone shaped tag: printed on their patented pet tag machine!

I would name him after someone funny with a beard but with an ironic or silly prefix -- like Baby Gandalf or Mr. Bob Ross.

"How is my baby Mr. Bob Ross doing today? Aren't you a cute wittle baby Bobby Ross in your wittle bafftub? Oh yes you are!"

It would be so difficult to sleep because I'd be so excited that I have a sea lion for a pet!

I'd wake up SUPER early to see my new baby sea lion on his first night in my bathtub -- only to find him lying dead on the floor. I'll have inadvertently killed the cute litte sea lion -- and all because I wanted a new pet! And then I'd hang myself.

Divers dwarfed by enormous sunfish

Payback says...

From what I've read, they are attacked quite often. They are fairly bony and allegedly bad tasting, but Orca, sea lions, and the like do eat them. Smaller predators can't get through their thick skins. They subsist mostly on jellyfish, which might explain some of it. The predators wouldn't like to go into jellyfish swarms.

How are Sunfish not giant, floating smorgasbords for carnivorous predators? They're like giant pieces of steak with fins.

I knew ocean Sunfish were big, but this...

Esoog says...

Wow...that thing is huge! Hard to even comprehend.

Here some more information, and part of the reason why they arent extinct:

Sunfish live on a diet consisting mainly of jellyfish, but because this diet is nutritionally poor, they consume large amounts to develop and maintain their great bulk. Females of the species can produce more eggs than any other known vertebrate. Adult sunfish are vulnerable to few natural predators, but sea lions, killer whales, and sharks will consume them.

artician said:

That's insane. How are those not extinct? They're massive, slow, and I can't see how they can defend themselves. Unless they just live far outside predatory areas I'd expect them to just be floating buffets for sharks and such.

Scumbag Seals

rich_magnet says...

Then apparently you've never dived with large seals before. On land they're comically clumsy but in the water, you move as silly as they do on land, whilst they move with grace, speed and strength. Look up under-sea videos of sea lions or leopard seals. Beautiful to dive with, though you have to pay attention to their body language.

OK, I don't think I have ever thought of seals as scary before.
