This hike was in the late afternoon at a place called Darwin
Bay. We had snorkeled here earlier in
the day, but came back to check out the wildlife.
Sea Lion on the Shore
Well, this little guy was certainly enjoying the last rays of
the day…..
Sleepy Sea Lion
And, this guy just couldn’t seem to keep his eyes open. I guess he had a busy day of playing in the
surf!
Small Manta Ray
So, isn’t this cool? The
water was so clear, it was easy to see this small mantra ray. Most rays do not have poisonous stingers, so
there’s no need to be concerned about snorkeling in the same area where this
guy lives – whew!
Hermit Crab
Technically, this guy’s name is a Semi-Terrestrial Hermit Crab,
and technically we didn’t see him in the surf, but…..oh, well! These guys take over the shells of other
creatures as their home, and discard the shells when they grow out of
them. Jeff thought it reminded him of us
in our RV – not that we have displaced any folks when we get our RV’s, of
course! Just that he travels with his
home with him, like we do in our RV!
Enjoy!
