This stock photo shows a group of Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus) in the Broughton Archipelago near Fife off the northern British Columbia coast in Canada. Also known as the Steller's sea lion, Northern sea lion.
A large rock in the Broughton Archipelago is full with Steller Sea Lions. These large brown creatures sit upon the large dry rock enjoying the sunny day.
They have long whiskers and small muzzles of their faces giving a puppy look. The sea lions are excellent swimmers with their large round bodies, smooth skin and large flippers.
Their skin is smooth and brown with dark brown spots. Most of the sea lions are dry from sunning on the rock. One of the lion’s skin is still moist from leaving the water recently.
