Sea lions

Streaming video used to record private life of Alaska sea lions

Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

You could call it steamy video instead of streaming video: On an island in the Gulf of Alaska, cameras are providing video images and sounds of some of the most intimate moments of endangered Steller sea lions. During late May through early July, researchers get a peek into the breeding behavior of the dominant bulls. This time of year, the cameras are trained on mothers nursing their pups at the small rookery on Chiswell Island, 35 miles south of Seward.
