Sea Lion


Sea Lion
Wendell Sea
Antartica
December 2007

This beast was the first mammal I saw on my trip to Antartica and I hated him. He was just laying there on a slab of ice when I first laid eyes on him.  It was obvious that he had just eaten a few penguins.  Blood was all over the white, white snow.  I wanted to poke his eyes out.

A few days later, i saw another sea lion and he too had just feasted on a bloody penguin or two.  But this time, I wasn't as mad.  I had just spent days with thousands of penguins. I reached the conclusion that we have a few penguins to spare.
