I am a big fan of Sea lion. I don't have particular reason for that but my liking towards it even doubled when I saw this video in Animal Planet where 3 sharks were chasing this lonely Sea Lion and it was so smart that it knows whats his strength is and used it to escape from the 3 hungry predators. Sea Lions can naturally dodge were easily under water and make invasive movements and in our scene above, this Sea Lion found sweet spot around floating glacier and swam until the sharks got so tired that they literraly gave up and started moving away looking for another prey. It was very impressive.
Just sharing some picture that I took during my trip to Florida in December 2010.
This following fact is nothing to do with Sea Lion but its interesting......
Operation Sea Lion was Germany's plan to invade the UK during
World War II, beginning in 1940. To have had any chance of success, however, the operation would have required air and naval supremacy over the English Channel. With the German defeat in the
Battle of Britain, Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September 1940 and never carried out. I Still wonder why Hitler would have named this operation "Sea Lion".
