Blowing bubbles: Galapagos fur seal, Arctocephalus galapagoensis, sliding underwater as it sleeps. It would actually startle and wake each time it did this, settle back and then gradually slither down, submerging its nose into the tide-pool until its next breath. This species is actually a sea-lion - it has ears. Among the lava rock grottoes of Puerto Egas, Santiago.
