South Plazas, this small steep-cliffed island was
formed by uplifted lava and is covered by opuntia cactuses - a tree
like cactus endemic to Galapagos. It is also home to one of the
largest sea lion colonies. Be careful not to get too close! Each
colony is lead by a bull and consists of 15-20 females. After about
3 months of playing king, these bulls retire to the "Bachelors"
colony and rest. These colonies consist also of very young bulls
that are still too young to hold a territory or be a threat to the
reining bull. |
