Fairly Effective Predators…….

March 20th, 2008


Pretty hard to get mad at animals, but I’d have to say these pics are hard to argue against effective actions. I’d like my kid to see a Salmon. AND, since nobody is tearing down Bonneville anytime soon….

A Good Hunter Stakes Out His Position…..wow, now that’s a no brainer….

…And Then Strikes His Prey……….

….And Then Eats 8.1% of It’s Body Weight EACH DAY!

Sea Lions…….

eat an average of 8.1 percent of their body weight each day. That’s a lot of food! If a 100 pound human had to eat eight percent of his weight each day it would mean consuming about eight pounds of food.

….thoughts from the h3llcat…..

Sea Lions that have adapted to our rivers and dams are a huge threat to the continued survival of Salmon. We created it….but we must now regulate it.
