Mountain Goat - Field, BC The resident Stellar's Sea Lion male and his harem of females chillin in the sun. This buoy is just off the tip of Pt. Roberts, Washington and is one of the stops that Captain Andy of White Rock Sea Tours, makes on his way through to find whales between the mainland and Vancouver Island. Stellar's Sea Lions are the largest of their kind and only smaller than Walrus and Elephant Seals. This bad boy has had a few tussles based on the scars around his neck.

Mountain Goat - Field, BC
A very casual Mountain Goat was grazing on the side of the Highway in the Rocky Mountains near field BC. The winter coat was starting to shed and the goat was catching the warm rays of the late spring sunshine. Mountain Goats are not as closely related to the other wild goats but rather the family of the Takin found in the Himalayans.
