Galapagos Sea Lions are generally
comfortable with the presence of humans, young or adolescent pups in
particular being fearless readily following human snorkellers or
divers out of curiosity. Large bulls are best avoided
particularly during the breeding season as they may perceive humans
to be a threat, especially as an upright stance usually means a sign
of aggression. Getting low is the best solution near seals as they
won't feel threatened by this and will remain calmer and be more
comfortable, this all makes for a more positive experience all
round.
Also, if you want to photograph the
seals, getting down to their level gives far better results than
having a picture taken looking down on them from above. |
