    This shot is very simple but I find it really appealing. I love how reflective their skin is.

    The pinnipeds are frequently called to the rocks for procedures like this and for training. If you're ever here, I highly recommend sticking around for a bit to catch one of these sessions. Its a great opportunity to observe their behavior and features, and can make for some fun photos!

    [March 2022] California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) opening mouth

    This is one of my zoo photos that I am the most proud of. Not normally a fan of harsh sunlight but I think it really added a lot to this. It was taken during one of the check up/training sessions that the keepers do several times a day. It makes for some awesome photo opportunities!

    I have no idea what is going on with this individual's eyes. I've tried to research it but I've found no information. If anyone knows, feel free to share. It certainly makes it a very intriguing subject. I always focus on this individual when I'm at Sea Lion Sound.

    The pinnipeds are definitely challenging to photograph, but its almost addicting. Playing with the reflections in the water and how their movement distorts them is really fun. I'm not sure what is going on with this particular individual's eyes. If anyone knows, feel free to share!

    Fur seals in Europe

    A while ago i made the thread 'South American Fur Seals in Europe'. After that i wanted to make a list of all the pinniped species currently in Europe, but i soon found out that that would be a lot of work. Maybe one day... So for now i started making a list of all the fur seal species...
