Taking advantage of the absence of humans, the sea lions have come ashore to “continue” management” of Mar del Plata Argentina port on April 14. This rare sight surprised many people. They thought they were trying to get ashore to avoid big waves and catch the sun.
It is known that this is the time when people limit going out because the epidemic makes the streets become deserted. This causes the sea lions to become bold. They comfortably go ashore to bask in the sun and then move around without showing any fear.
Scene The video shows the animals quite relaxed while basking in the sun outside the souvenir shops. This was originally a place where many tourists and local people gathered, but now it seems “deserted” since the pandemic Covid-19 is coming.
< p>“The sea lions have taken over this port area. It’s very rare to see them on the street like that. When there’s no one around, they’re more comfortable,” a resident joked.
Those are sea lions that weigh from 350 – 500 kg but move quite agilely. Seeing the plump bodies of animals also makes people quarantined at home for many days feel more relaxed.
Since the outbreak of the disease Many countries have tightened blockade orders requiring people to stay indoors, creating an ideal environment for many animals. After rats, monkeys in Thailand, sheep in England, wild boars rushed into the streets of Spain, now it is perhaps Argentina’s turn to become a “victim” of the invasion of sea lions.
Up to now Currently, Argentina records 2,930 cases of Covid-19 infection, of which 134 people have died.
