These lobsters sure don't like the ones we eat back home, eh?

Fishmarket | Galapagos Islands
The fishmarket on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos Islands is quite a sight. Among the regular (albeit nonpaying) customers are pelicans and sea lions, who persistently wait for mongers to turn their heads so they can steal scraps. While I was enjoying the chaos and getting splattered with fish juices (delightful), one particular misbehaving sea lion started to drag one of the fishes away from the pelicans in an attempt to selfishly indulge. This resulted in more chaos. One of the amazing things about the islands is how unafraid of humans the animals are, as they've never been intentionally scared away or harmed by them.

Ohmygoodness, those fish are massive!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours in these.
What a beautiful thought that the pelicans, sea lions & fishermen have found a harmony so that all get fed. I would have had fun giggling at their antics to steal the fish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! The fish look very fresh but scary too heh.
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask if those were lobsters! Are those colorful bead-looking things covering them part of their shells, or is something growing on them? So pretty!
