Galápagos Sea Lion
Zalophus wollebaeki
The Galapagos sea lion (Zalophus wollebaeki), a species of sea lion, exclusively breeds on the Galapagos Islands and in smaller numbers - on Isla de la Plata (to Ecuador). Being fairly social, and one of the most numerous species in the Galapagos archipelago, they are often spotted sun-bathing on sandy shores or rock groups or gliding gracefully through the surf. Their loud "bark", playful nature, and graceful agility in water make them the "welcoming party" of the islands.
