West Seattle Herald reader Jenn provided a tip via Facebook that a Sea Lion was actively feeding and was surrounded by Seagulls off of Duwamish Head and Anchor Park Sunday morning April 1.

Reporter/Photographer David Rosen was dispatched to investigate and saw the sequence you can view in the slideshow.

The gulls appeared to be looking for scraps from the Sea Lion's vigorous feeding.

Sea Lions are opportunistic feeders, according to www.marinemammalcenter.org, "feeding on squid, octopus, herring, rockfish, mackerel, and small sharks."

Robin Lindsey of SealSitters.org shares, " It's a male California sea lion. Hard to tell what critter is being shredded. Usually when sea lions are feeding on fish the gulls swoop down and land on the water, just as you say - looking for scraps. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that a sea lion would chomp at a sea gull if he thought the gull was taking his food."
