  • Galapagos Sealion (Zalophus wollebaeki) on the waterfront with Domestic Dogs. (Sealions can contract canine diseases)<br />
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, San Cristobal Island, GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR. South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individual sealions in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.

Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
These birds are relatives of the frigate birds. However they use their pouches for trapping water and with luck some fish. Brown pelicans are the smallest of the family and the only pelicans which are truly marine and also together with the Peruvian pelicans that plunge-dive to catch their food. They nest in scattered colonies throughout the archipelago. Breeding occurs in any month, although particular colonies are synchronised.

Floreana Island, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
There are approximately 16,000 individuals in the archipelago and numbers are increasing. Males are much larger than females, weighing up to 250kg compared with 100kg in the females. They spend a large amount of time hauled up on sandy beaches. The males establish territories which are savegely defended from rivals. Young bachelors and unsuccessful bulls then leave the area and establish bachelor colonies on the outskirts of female haul-outs. Reproduction occures mainly in the Garua season between July and December and will vary from Island to Island. Sealions are highly thigmotactic (seeking body contact) and loaf around in piles on the beaches. They are extremely efficient hunters, preferring sardines to other fish, so spend a considerable time resting or at play. Underwater they are well streamlined, lithe and acrobatic.
