It takes two to Tango

Playing alone isn't as much fun as having a partner. So says the fur seals (actually sealions & not seals) of the Galapagos. It's a tough life to be a sealion. You have to catch fish for at least two hours a day, which only leaves about 10 hours to play in the water, and 12 hours to sleep on the beach. These adorable guys really want you to dig their lifestyle and convert you to it. They want to play with you more than an 4 year-old only child, and they know all the good games - wrestling, tag, keep away, hide & seek - only they have little patience and know you can't win no matter how close they get. Bigger, stronger, faster, more mobile, and needing fewer breathes is a hard combo to beat. They grabbed Doug's fins, came within inches of my face, and did underwater somersaults around us. Tell me again why humans think we're the smartest creatures on Earth?
