Usually, at Pier 39 in San Francisco, hundreds of sea lions gather on floating wooden platforms. The multitude of these animals, which traditionally number in the hundreds, has become an essential tourist attraction for all visitors to the city.
During these days, a higher presence than usual is being recorded, since the number of these animals is estimated at more than a thousand. An amount that had not been observed for 15 years.
Experts believe that this increase in lions is due to the abundant amount of anchovies that are present in Californian waters at this time.
