Chonkers the Steller sea lion draws crowds at San Francisco's Pier 39
A massive sea lion nicknamed Chonkers is charming tourists and locals at San Francisco's Pier 39. On Thursday morning, visitors snapped photos of the Steller sea lion as he flopped on the pier among much smaller California sea lions. Chonkers is estimated to weigh between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds. He likely came from waters off Washington or Oregon. Laura Gill from The Marine Mammal Center says the pier offers protection from predators and plenty of food. Sea lions have gathered at the pier since after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, becoming a tourist attraction.

After Monday's news that our small colony of penguins had been wiped out by a dog attack, it's good to hear some positive wildlife stories from the Dunedin area.
Otago's pakake (NZ sea lion) population is slowly growing and on its way to becoming a breeding colony. For DOC to declare that status, at least 35 pups must be born for five consecutive seasons.
Coyly, the story only refers to "more than 35 pups" being born this year.

Omilen2016, sailing through the fjords of southern Chile. I remember the silence, the cold wind, and—suddenly—life: sea lions resting on the rocks, surrounded by sea and stillness. Chile is like that: beautiful, diverse, wild, and profound.
