Bertie Gregory Instagram – A group of Galapagos sea lions cooperatively heard fish into a magical little cove. What you can’t see in this video is that these sea lions originally located the school of fish over a half a mile away. As a team, they pushed the school up to the surface and through open water towards this cove. Some corralled from the left, some from the right and some from underneath. It was epic to witness sea lions collaborating so perfectly to use the land as a tool. It was also fun to see the brown pelicans had the whole thing figured out and flew ahead of the sea lions to grab an easy meal on the beach. The mammal intelligence was clear but we’re also going to need to rethink the phrase ‘bird-brained’!
