Thanks E. It is a pretty cool exhibit, though one of my favorite Zoo experiences with a Sea Lion happened in Germany. I was in Munich visiting the Zoo and it was early in the day and not many other visitors were at the Zoo. I was leaning over the barrier looking down into the Pantagonian Sea Lion exhibit, when I noticed two huge eyes and a wide, gaping mouth rocketing out of the water right at me. It happened real fast and the view was surreal, almost hard to process, but that Sea Lion scared the pants off me, it was pretty thrilling, but I kept my distance from the barrier after that. I guess that animal had a habit of doing that to visitors. I propose we rename them Sea Bears.
