Sea Lion dozing on a rock, it
is best not to approach Sea Lions too closely especially as they may
be startled, but many of them will only regard a human being as a
mild distraction or curiosity. Don't disturb them unnecessarily
though and don't get so close that they could give you a nip or
something more substantial. Early sealers would often suffer from an
immobile or paralysed "sealer's finger" after being bitten by seals
and sea lions, due to the particularly rich and exotic bacterial
fauna that lives in their mouths making it all go unpleasantly
infected. |
