Octopus vs. Sea Lion—First Ever Video
New National Geographic Crittercam footage shows never before seen eating habits of the Australian sea lion—including video of a sea lion hunting a large octopus. The footage is from a project intended to help save the endangered sea lions, in part by uncovering where and how the animals eat.

(The National Geographic Society owns National Geographic News.)

6. Looks like they glued a camera to the back of a sea lion.
Anyone know of any healthy superglue that you can put on the skin of a marine mammal?
