| This clip below shows some relaxed Northern sea lions moving slowly past the camera. Right at the end of the clip, a California sea lion Zalophus californianus comes in from the left for a brief flyby, note the dark colored head | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A slow, relaxed flyby. The Northern sea lions do not appear to be bothered by the divers . | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| We have observed that underwater flash cameras will often induce this behavior. Also if a diver strays into an area where the lions have been actively foraging, they may use this threat display in an attempt to intimidate the intruder into moving away from their hunting area. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| This clip shows "bluff attacks" by Northern sea lions. One can hear the clicks of teeth snapping. When sea lions do this a diver should move out of the area immediately, as these are threat displays. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
