These two male sea lions hauling out at El Malecón are part of a bachelor colony. The young adults band together away from breeding colonies controlled by a territorial bull. The bachelors are socially relegated to less desirable portions of a shoreline. In Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, this means almost any flat surface. You will see them sleeping along the rocks, the street or maybe on a bench. They will also crawl uninvited into anchored rafts and boats for a peaceful snooze.
