Stellar sea lions
Sea lions. A group of Northern or Stellar sea lions, Eumetopias jubata, on a rocky shoreline. Sea lions are carnivorous marine mammals which come ashore only to reproduce and molt. Their limbs have evolved into flippers; they can turn their rear flippers forwards in order to walk on land. This species is the largest type of sea lion, the males weighing up to 1, 100 kilograms. They are practically hairless except for a mane. Their meat is palatable and they form an important food source for eskimos. As a result, Stellar sea lions are extremely cautious of humans and will flee into the sea if approached. Photographed at Carmanah Point in British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing group of Northern or Stellar sea lions, known as Eumetopias jubata, basking on a rugged shoreline. These carnivorous marine mammals have adapted to life in the ocean and only come ashore for reproduction and molting purposes. Their limbs have evolved into flippers, enabling them to swim gracefully through the water. Interestingly, they can also rotate their rear flippers forward to walk on land. As the largest type of sea lion species, these magnificent creatures can weigh up to a staggering 1,100 kilograms. With practically hairless bodies except for a majestic mane, they possess an undeniable allure that is beautifully captured in this photograph. Stellar sea lions play a crucial role in the ecosystem as an important food source for Eskimos or Inuit communities. Due to their significance in sustaining these indigenous populations, they exhibit extreme caution around humans and will swiftly retreat into the safety of the sea if approached. Photographed at Carmanah Point in British Columbia, Canada by Science Photo Library, this image not only highlights the natural beauty of these coastal animals but also provides valuable insights into zoology and wildlife conservation efforts. It serves as a stunning reminder of our planet's diverse ecosystems and reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve these remarkable creatures for future generations.
