With yesterdays post, some of you wondered how the people shared the docks with the sea lions. I have no answer. I wonder too. These critters are everywhere on the docks. I've been there a few times and have never seen what happens when people need to get to their boats. I watched someone with a camera walk down the ramp to get closer for a shot and one of the sea lions took off after him. Needless to say the man quickly headed back up the ramp.
This baby didn't make it. Not pretty but dead critters are always part of a walk on the beach. This one was tiny. The shell wasn't more than an inch across.
