Friends at Sea
Taking your own dog on boat trips can be a bit of a hassle, which is why many people choose to leave their furry friends at home. But nature sometimes offers surprising alternatives, like encountering seals. These animals are excellent swimmers and are natural inhabitants of marine regions. Their presence can make a boat trip extra special, and their playful nature makes them delightful company.
On such a trip, you might witness scenes like a girl tossing a fish to a sea lion, as if it were a tame pet. Although sea lions are generally not aggressive towards humans, you must always be aware that they remain wild animals. They can be unpredictable and even dangerous under certain circumstances, especially when they are hungry. Experts therefore advise against feeding wild animals or trying to pet them, especially if signs of aggression are apparent. This serves both to protect humans and to ensure the well-being of the animals.
