The surprising transformation of the Steller sea lion
Watch as filmmaker Bertie Gregory ventures into the waters of Vancouver Island to encounter Steller sea lions. This episode explores how these massive predators transition from clumsy land dwellers to agile aquatic hunters.
While Steller sea lions may appear heavy and awkward on land, they undergo a remarkable change in the water, becoming streamlined and highly agile. This physical shift is essential for survival; the large males must consume more than one hundred pounds of fish every day to maintain their strength.
The footage follows Bertie Gregory as he tests the reactions of these large bulls while wearing a wetsuit, providing an up-close look at one of the largest predators inhabiting the waters near Vancouver Island.
