Hi nature fans. I have to admit, it's good to be back and doing these DNF posts again. As I mentioned, I have a ton of stuff from Iceland that I'll be sharing, but since I've already posted a lot form there, I'm going to try and break it up a bit. Today's Daily Nature Fix comes to you from Alaska. We were in a bay just outside of Juneau and happened upon this gang of sea lions enjoying the nice weather from their perch on a buoy.
^^^These guys look like I feel right now.
The boat driver told us that this group frequents this hangout quite a bit. Actually, it was a big male and the rest were females that made up his harem. The male had a name, but I don't recall what it was unfortunately.
^^^A hard day of sea lion stuff.
These guys are Steller sea lions, I believe. Sadly, their numbers have been declining over the last few decades and are now near threatened. They get big. Males can grow to be over 10 feet in length and tip the scales at almost 2,500lbs.
^^^A female swimming up to give us the stink eye.
