A. I love the idea of tiny baby sea lion. B. I love that it chased you and your son C. I love even more that I laughed so much at this fantastic post. D. I will not have a sea lion for a pet, but I am now a big fan.
I've always enjoyed watching the sea lions too. My level of respect that they are huge wild animals went thru the roof the time I was with a bunch of folks watching them at Pier 39 in San Francisco. Suddenly a sea lion leapt up out of the water and grabbed a bag out of a little girl's hands. I was standing right next to her. We all screamed in horror and if her grampa hadn't been quick and grabbed her, she might have gone right into the water too. It was truly terrifying. That's the only time I've ever seen them do something like that, but whew, I'll never forget it.
That is crazy. That would have freaked me out. Sea lions are a ton of fun to watch, but I read they can get up to 800-900 pounds for the big ones. We become a bit complacent around these monster sized animals I suppose. ðŸ¦
Yeah, we were all a bit freaked out I think. But I don't blame the sea lions! It's not their fault that our babies can barely swim or defend themselves.

Thanks Mary, but I think it’s okay to have a sea lion as a pet if you get a little inflatable pool 😅ðŸ¦
😂

Thank you Maurice!! You are too kind, and I appreciate that! 😄ðŸ¦

Perhaps the sea lion was so smart it knew only to take the bag? That’s kinda cool 😎
