Swallow - Galapagos Islands - Sea Lion and Shark
© 2006 Greg Cope
Sea Lion eating a Black Tipped Shark. The commotion next to our boat was amazing. This sea lion would try to swallow this small shark in one bite, then reluctantly spit it out accompanied by an aweful sound and the shark flying several feet through the air. All the while I thought the sea lion was just putting on a playful show for us.
