I like to wonder if sea lions are comfortable in their rocky resting spots
Around this time of year the sea lions of Monterey take over a beach, or a rocky shore right along the Monterey Bay Recreational Trail so you can get very close to them.

They must be though, as there are other places besides rocks! Nevertheless, I cannot help but wonder, are these sea lions really comfortable?? What do you think?
