Yesterday afternoon a call came over the CB saying that there was Sea Lion on the beach. So we (my roommate Bonnie and I) packed the kids up and went for the very short walk to the beach.We approached the beach quietly as to not scare the Sea Lion off..... Much to our surprise the sea lion was there.. minus his skin and many other body parts... This village is a subsistence kinda place and when they said that there was a Sea Lion on the beach they meant "there is meat come and get it"!
Now mind you this is the first dead mammal I have ever seen.. and after the first gulp reaction it was pretty neat! Sea Lions eat rocks to aid in their digestion... I am now the proud owner of a Sea Lion Gut Rock....(I picked it up with my bare hands.. among the dead fish that the Sea Lion had had for lunch!) They told us that we could have some meat if we wanted... So I went back up to the apartment and came back with a bag and a knife.. and hacked off my own piece of Sea Lion. Frank gave me some telephonic preparation tips and we snacked on Sea Lion as a late night snack. It is pretty good! Dinner tonight will consist of Sea Lion and rice!
This is a sensored pic of the Sea Lion (I didn't want PETA coming after me..)
And the other pic is of the rocks and stomach contents... I now have one of those rocks.. and so will Layn.
