Photograph An Unusual Animal In the Wild - Revisited

So, blurry photographs of antelopes, which might just be deer left a sour taste in my mouth.  And due to some kismet the last couple weeks I feel I have some better showings for this challenge.

Again, we are left to wonder, what counts as unusual?  But surely one of these counts.

Island Fox 

Also known as my new dream pet

Ran across this guy on Santa Cruz island off the coast nearby Ventura, CA.  Notorious camp robbers, and all around adorable little guys pretty much run the island.  Robin Hooding the shit out of any food visitors and campers may have brought.

Sea Lions

Alongside photographus interruptus

Saw these guys chilling (sunning?) on a buoy in the ocean on a ferry.  Fun fact:  it took me 4 tries to Google the correct way to spell buoy.

Pelican

Come at me bro

I have mad respect for this guy, rather than fly around and fish like a sucker, he just chills on the pier and waits for a fisherman to catch something then strolls on over and takes it.  Work smarter, not harder people.

Some sort of lizard

Man I wish I had brought my safari hat

He was hanging out at a mission, so I guess it's a fryer lizard.

Big-Ass Snake

Technically they don't have asses I guess

Saw this guy near a light house, just cruising along, not giving a damn.  I'm not sure what kind of snake it is, but it didn't have a rattle so that's probably good.

Elephant Seal

Not sure if napping or genocide

These Muppet looking blubber monsters chose one spot near San Simeon to hang out year round sometime around 1990.  Their laziness is truly an inspiration, Hindu's should seriously consider adding them to the reincarnation ladder, seems like a pretty sweet life.

Dolphin

Apparently the ocean is just lousy with dolphins as no one else in the state seemed to give a shit.  Still I thought it was cool.

Falcon

Apparently being employed as a contract killer for sea gulls

There we have it, combined with the blurry antelopes, I think this counts as a success.
