Friends at Sea
Taking your own dog on boat trips can be a bit of a hassle, which is why many people decide it’s easier to leave their furry friends at home. But nature sometimes throws up some surprising alternatives, like encounters with seals. These critters are excellent swimmers and are natural inhabitants of marine regions. Their presence can make a boat trip extra special, and their playful nature makes them delightful company.
On such a trip, you might witness scenes like a girl tossing a fish to a sea lion as if it were a tame pet. While sea lions are generally not aggressive towards humans, it’s always crucial to remember that they’re still wild animals. They can be unpredictable and even dangerous under certain circumstances, especially if they’re hungry. Experts therefore advise against feeding wild animals or trying to pet them, particularly if there are signs of aggression. This is for both the protection of humans and the well-being of the animals.
