9. Getting That Sunshine!
Asking sea lions, being a prisoner is not all that bad. If you ate three times a day and had to worry about predators and could recline all day in the sun, who would be crazy? These energetic aquatic life forms have perfected the technique of living their best life in captivity, turning their enclosure into a personal travel destination. Their days comprise properly timed meals, scheduled activities that double as exercise, and many hours of first-rate sunbathing opportunities. Low requirements for survival-based exercise paired with regular feeding schedules have generated shockingly plump animals who seem to have found their own type of paradise. Their relaxed posture and happy expressions suggest they have totally embraced this leisurely way of life.
