Sea Lion Famous

If Your Animal Was A Famous Person, Who Would It Be And Why?

Zoo Habitat of the Sea Lion

The animal I am researching is the Sea Lion. If it were to be a famous person, I would make it Esther Williams for a couple of reasons.

First of all, Sea Lions spend most of the time in the water. They play and frolic around very much like the movements of Miss Williams.

Second, they are one of very few animals that show their teeth while their body is underwater and their head bobbing above. Miss Williams is, of course, another of those animals.

Last, but not least, Miss Williams was almost irrefutably defined as, 'very cute' during her career. I'm sure nowadays 'cute' is a whole other story, but someone somewhere must still regard her as something like 'cute'. Anyway, in my opinion, Sea Lions are extremely cute and have a very sweet-looking nature. Sound like someone you've heard of?

So, need an Esther Williams impersonator? Just go to your local zoo! I rest my case.
