Description
This was definitely an experience to witness an event like this. A very large steller sea lion was attempting to make a meal of a giant Pacific octopus. With all those suction cups (approximately 280 per tentacle), I don't know how the sea lion would manage to swallow it...definitely a "stick to the ribs" meal.

What an amazing capture. I had no idea what he was swallowing till I read the description. Did he choke ?

Wow! Fantastic shot! What an experience to see this...I too wonder how it could possibly swallow it!
Juli Scalzi
Yikes! That's an incredible shot. So . . . . did the sea lion actually finish eating this?? Yikes!
Randy Hall replied:
Thank you Juli. The sea lion eventually got the job done...swallowed the octopus whole.
