@stevefoerster @orci
I live on a beach where sea lions come to raise their pups and can report that they're wonderful animals. There's often one or more lying on the beach, flipping sand over itelf. As long as you respect their space, they're good neighbours.

@orci @stevefoerster Can be a bad day when a 600 pound sea lion flops itself onto a lightly built dock or a small boat tied to it, but sea lions gathering around human stuff like seagulls is something we need to think about.

Show threadJennifer MechemNov 30, 2022
@orci Also, seals are curious and inquisitive. Sea lions really just want to have a civil debate and wonder if you have any evidence for the differences between seals and sea lions, and point out that you haven't mentioned the tails, which after all are the primary method of propulsion and should be an important point of discussion.
