Marine life
The sea mammals, seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales, which are easier to see than they sound: sea lions lie on harbour breakwaters in full view, and a few stretches of coast hold resident pods of whales that a boat can reach in half an hour.
A sea lion can be told from a seal at a glance: it has small external ears and walks on its flippers, while a true seal has none and moves on land like a caterpillar. The Californian ones are the animals trained to balance balls, which they do in the wild too, more or less, playing with kelp.
