Teaching a Sea Lion tricks

Ah, the good old Sea Lion show, too bad it only happens once in the entire day(making it easy to miss). In this shot, the trainer is teaching a young seal lion how to wave. The sea lion was pretty stubborn but he managed to pull off a few tricks before jumping back into the water. There's also another species of seal in this show but I'm not sure what they're called. I don't know the employee's name nor the seal's; this show was hard enough to see within a large crowd of spectators.

Picture was taken in late spring of 2009 @ the Denver Zoo
