Specifically Seals vs. Sea Lions, how to tell them apart, and how to identify what these guys they spotted in San Antonio, Chile are — can you help?
Is this the South American Sea Lion?
Why do the flat fellas think they saw the South American Sea Lion?
There are a few reasons. One, we’re in South America, so we figured we were more likely to see a South American animal than one from another part of the world.
Second, Google’s Gemini AI provided this description of a South American Sea Lion:
Physical Characteristics: The large size, robust build, and prominent mane (especially visible around the neck and shoulders of the males) are consistent with South American Sea Lions. The lighter color and overall shape of the head also fit this identification.
Google’s Gemini AI also shared: Fur Seals: Fur seals have a thicker, plusher coat and a more pointed snout.
