2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Sea lion, Isla Sombrero Chino, Ecuador
Baby sea lion playing with the snorkelers

Species: Sea lion | Location: Isla Sombrero Chino, Ecuador

Multiple baby sea lions were following our snorkeling group and playing with the guides, diving and circling us. This one decided to come directly towards me and veered off at the last moment with a gentle flick of his tail.
