VIDEO: ‘Sailing’ sea lion off Lowman Beach

Continuing our sea theme this afternoon thanks to Keri Watson for sending the video! That’s a sea lion “sailing” – often mistaken for an orca – off Lowman Beach. We’ve featured and explained this over the years – here, for example.

    I see sea lions floating along holding up their flippers off of Constellation Park and Alki frequently.  They do this to “thermo-regulate” is what I’ve heard.  It’s like someone that throws a leg out from under the covers when they get too warm.

Sorry, comment time is over.
