Yawn (Arctocephalus forsteri)

or maybe belching fishy breath. There was a lot of fish breath (or fish fart?) smell out there. Those canines are not as ferocious as those of for instance a Leapord Seal, I imagine, but could certainly do you some damage, so just as well we weren't allowed to outside fenced pathways. The seals were just up there to sleep and soak up some sunshine, so they didn't bother crossing the fences either.
