Sea lion
Galápagos penguins
Sally Lightfoot crab
We went for a little wildlife cruise one day off the island of Isabela in the Galápagos. It's so fascinating to see penguins on the equator - and a little surreal. One of my favorite wildlife stories was that of the Sally Lightfoot crab. The crab walks beautifully, on its toes. The crab's name is said to have been inspired by a nightclub dancer in Guayaquil that attracted sailors with her equally eloquent moves.

Elie-Followed links from Kella's Bday pics. Really cool pics. Believe it or not, Kurt Vonnegut's wildly absurd (but delicious)book "Galapagos" really peaked my interest in the islands. Thanks for posting.
love the sea lion
Jason - I'll have to read it. I like Vonnegut! Thanks for looking.
Beck - It's so very San Fran of you to love the sea lion : )
