真是可愛,海獅到魚市場逛街,走到攤販前,就湊嘴「買」魚回家吃,可愛模樣都被遊客拍下。

據英國《每日郵報》報導,日前南美洲厄瓜多聖塔克魯斯島(Santa Cruz Island)有一隻母海獅,跟著遊客一同在魚攤前方排隊買魚,牠努力的將身體挺直,不時伸頭探望,一旁的遊客不想理牠,海獅依舊忘我的挑魚。

雖然這隻海獅不斷看著桌面上各式各樣的魚,尤其是老闆手上切下一塊塊的鮪魚,最後老闆切一塊鮪魚肉「賣」給海獅,牠才心滿意足的回家。

由於魚市場距離海灘只有2.5公尺,比海平面高出1.5公尺,對魚當地民眾而言,海獅逛魚市場已經習以為常。

Sea lion has become a regular at fishmonger's shop and will even queue for an hour to pick up some tuna

  • Sea lion waddles up to stall before getting on her hind legs to see what's on offer
  • Locals do not touch the sea mammal nor interact with her
  • Photos taken during a visit to Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos, Ecuador
  • The fish being sold were Wizzard Fish and Bigeye tuna 

 

 

This sea lion is one of the regulars at a fishery as she stands on her flippers patiently queuing up for her fish supper.

The cheeky mammal made her way from the sea to the fish stall and waited for her turn for an hour.

After being given scraps of fish by the generous fishmonger, the sea lion made her way back to the sea.

These heart-warming pictures were taken by photographer Kristhian Castro, during a visit to Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos, Ecuador.

The 38-year-old Colombian took the fishy photographs at a port a herring's throw from the sea.

Mr Castro said: 'The sea lion is looking for fish scraps left over from the filleting process which is usually found in the fishing port.

'I found it very interesting, I really enjoyed the moment because it's like the sea lion is a customer.

'I expected to find wildlife in large quantity; it was so surprising to see that the animals there are not afraid of humans.

'It was so funny to observe how it was standing on its back flippers.

'The sea lion was standing for about an hour. It took several fish scraps and later jumped back into the sea.

'The fish being sold were Wizzard Fish and Bigeye tuna.

'The fishing stall is close to the sea, just 2½ metres away, and there is a raised platform 1½ metres above the surface of the water.

'Will this do for madam? Or should I cut it in half for you?' Only the best offcuts for the sea lion

'To return to the water, it just jumps in.'

Mr Castro said that this isn't a big deal for people who live there, he said: 'For locals it's normal.

'They are accustomed to the proximity of the wildlife, but they never touch the animals nor interact with them.

'I especially love the photos that show the harmony between man and animals, as a result of the respect for the wildlife in this community.'
