Thank you, thank you, to Benjamin and Christelijne van den Hout for the photos of both one and many gray European sea lions from our shared “super snelle rubberboot” adventure in the North Sea. When I finally got my own (non-digital) photos back, there were many of beach vistas and many others of physicists, but my one shot of North Sea sea lions didn’t appear, not even as a blurry memory. So I am especially grateful to Benjamin and Christelijne for sharing their own excellent digital photos with me, and even for letting me share some of them with you. I was warned by my guidebook that, although friendly and curious, North Sea sea lions can (if you get too close) “become quite aggressive.” |
I so much prefer that phrase in its Dutch translation:
“They will bite your fingers off.”
