SEA LION
The most common animal to see in the excursions through the islands are the Galapagos sea lions. They are found on the beaches or rocky shores soaking up the sun in colonies. Sea lions are sociable animals and live in colonies with a dominant male between 5-25 females.
They feed primarily on fish, and they are binge eaters, that is the main reason why they lay for long hours by the shore to take long naps. Friendly by nature, they will approximate to visitors on beaches by their curiously and will playfully swim in water too. Inland they can be slow and lazy. However, their agility comes out in water; they are fast swimmers, so they will be a great company when diving, snorkeling or kayaking.
Sea lions can be seen in all our itineraries in the Galapagos Legend and the Corals.
