Description: Young and cute and covered with a light fur, this baby sea lion is curious of all that is around them.
The Galápagos Sea Lion (Zalophus wollebaeki) is not totally endemic to the islands as they can be found on Isla de la Plata closer to mainland Ecuador.
But still, they are endemic to Ecuador, so maybe that counts?
Location: Galapagos, Ecuador, South America
