Sea lions are a freakin' crack up. I loved watching them from the boat. Though ours were pretty sedate as they were there to lie around and be fat and lazy. LOL. I should get some photos off an old disk I have of this particular sea lion. He was SO funny. He decided that it was time to go in the water. He was lying on his tummy, his body running parallel to the shore. Of course, he wasn't going to waste valuable energy getting UP or anything. Nope. He just slowly, REALLY slowly, starts rolling on his side, down into the water. After a minute he makes it into the water and just lies there as the waves slosh over him. I think he got hot and was cooling himself off. LOL!
Australia has a lot of ad campaigns for sensible fishing, actually. There are a lot of ads on from Fisheries telling people to be careful about how many fishes they catch.
Oh, flatfish are AWESOME. I remember reading about them when I was a kid and being utterly fascinated by the transformation they went through. I didn't realise they got so big, though! Holy shit, that thing is HUGE!
