Nose-to-nose, two Steller sea lion cows (Eumetopias jubata) have a vociferous argument about who invaded whose territory. These animals are always yelling at each other! Lowrie is a small island on the north end of Forrester National Wildlife Refuge; it serves as the rookery of the worlds largest concentration of these mammals. About 5,000 gather here at the height of the breeding/pupping season in late June and early July. Biologists puzzle over the fact that the species is faring so badly in relatively wild Alaska. Slow starvation may be the answer, since its principal food, pollock, has become increasingly popular with human competitors; Lowrie Island, Alexander Archipelago, Alaska, United States of America
