California sea lion pup (Zalophus californianus) plays with a feather underwater. For a young sea lion, playfulness is a life strategy. They do not have the strength or stamina of adults and are unable to follow them on deep dives or multi-day hunting expeditions. Staying close to the colony, the pups trains the skills they will need through play. It looks joyful, but there is a deeper purpose to this young sea lions pursuit of a feather. Mexico’s sea lions are under threat by entanglement in fishing gear and the effects of climate change. This rookery is the only one in Baja Sur which has a growing population. It is more important than ever that young sea lions in Mexico grow to a healthy adult state. Location: Espiritu Santo Island National Park and Unesco World Heritage Site, Baja California Sur, Mexico
