Sea Lion Swimming Lessons

We were recently fortunate enough to attend a Marine Mammal Center release here in Bodega Bay, where they returned a number of rehabilitated sea lion and harbor seal pups to the sea. So when I saw this video from the Pittsburgh Zoo, I was especially intrigued and wanted to share it with you. If offers a fascinating (and adorable) glimpse of the natural behavior that's probably taking place up and down the coast here as well.

  4. Thank you very much Karen, Julie and Kathryn. I appreciate your comments. I loved how the mom just scooped the pup up onto the deck each time it looked like he'd had enough.
