That wild animal is more well behaved than the majority of children I see running/screaming around every day :-)

Wow I've never seen a sea lion so large and with such a glorious mane!

What kind of Pokémon is this?

Seems to me that this is not an unexpected visitor. Given the fishermen’s nonchalance, the animal’s patience and its enormous size, I’d say they’ve been doing this for quite a while.

This fat dude is my “spirit animal”.

I've never seen a furry sea lion. This one looks like an actual lion with that mane.

I have often wondered at the name 'sea lion'. This is the first time I've seen one with a mane. My unspoken question has been answered.

I love how he politely waits his turn.

"excuse me sir, do you have any surplus stock that requires disposal?"

Such a deadly but beautiful animal. To keep that boy happy I'd toss him a fish or two to!

I've never seen or heard of such a huge gentle sea lion, he was so patient in his waiting for a snack..good boy/girl. Thank you humans for being so generous to this gentle lion

so cute how it looks like he is waiting in line for some fishies.

Right. Well, people who are crying about a hungry sea lion and taking their food. You do realize there is a VAST ocean out there and fish reproduce at a rate that both human fishing and animals that eat fish can both eat correct? Did you also know that fish lay eggs many many hundreds of miles away from where the fishermen are fishing then swim to where the fishermen are? Please do some research before commenting. This is easily seen as a well behaved sea lion because he has done this before. No employee of a fishing place will just hand out fish to the sea lion. It's already part of the inventory. There was a discussion and they decided to throw him the broken spine ones when he comes or something. This was preplanned. I work at a fishing pier. I see it all the time. They always come begging for fish.

Reminds me of Walter Brimley. He seems elderly and not in the mood to chase fish down the regular way. I would definitely get fired for giving this big guy too much fish.

You know what they do with bear cubs when they get used to being fed by humans? They get shot.

I like how that lion was just savoring those fish after he ate them lol

I know that sea lions are big, but this one is HUGE, to compare to the men !!!

His mother taught him well.

This just proves to me marine life is all endangered! Humankind has overfished ALL the bodies of water & more than sea lions are starving! It makes me sad. Now we need to feed them because we ate all their food!

Big wild creature. Very strong potential man killer. Much better behaved than most Humans. He shames our species with his good manners.

Wow

What a chunk monster, lol. I love him!

The least we could do was share the bounty.

I know it would be hard, but I would like to get him specialist Vet checked. This is not really normal behaviour.

A few years ago that same sea lion (well, maybe his cousin) almost bit off the head of then candidate -now president- resident clown. Wish he had, though. :-/ lobo-5d0a6...562d0d.jpg
