If you ever wander into the Galápagos Islands, then please be careful. There are Galápagos sea lions (Zalophus wollebaeki) everywhere you go; on piers, benches, and even city streets. One of our editors, SMW, witnessed this firsthand. On all three islands he visited, sea lions were either swimming or basking in the sun. Even the local fishermen of Puerto Ayora gave them treats.
