Comments: God it's so hard to take pictures through that glass. You just can't comprehend how big they are until you're up next to them. You think "Oh, sea lions. Yeah, small cute and fuzzy." Nuh uh. Head to flippers this boy's bigger than I am. Wider than me too. Could do lots of damage to me if it wanted to. Yet they're so graceful in the water. :D

Stellers are sea lions, not seals, and both animals at the Portland Zoo are male. But this a great photo, and a fantastic perspective.
