She Saw What You Did Thar
Animal Fun Facts! Despite their stinky reputation, individual sea lions groom themselves well and do not actually smell any stronger than most mammals. Their colonies, however, tend to get piled high with rotting carcasses of their prey, and excrement. In short, one sea lion doesn’t really stink, but a BUNCH of them do.
Foxes, on the other hand, do have a noticeable tang that is similar to a skunk’s but not as strong… which is something you don’t hear about that much. Like, Nick Wilde is hot and all, but, y’know, he’s whiffy, and Judy never once mentions it.

PS: Just a heads-up, next week’s page will be a bit of bonus art, due to time crunch. However, it will be some pretty amazing bonus art, if I do say so myself.
Oh, poor Charity…

Hands off that navel, Tsunami, or answer for it IN THE RING! 😉
Leopard seal or sea lion?
More fun facts about sea lions:
1. Having lived literally next door to a sea lion colony, the other thing that makes such a stench is that the sea lions themselves don’t bother to depart before they, you know, depart, and you will often have one or more 500-pound carcasses in such a state of decay that even seagulls won’t nibble on them.
2. When this happens in the sea lion colony on the Coast Guard pier in Monterey, CA, it’s up to the personnel at the Coast Guard base there to tie a line to the carcass, pull it off the pier with a utility boat, and tow it out past the three-mile limit. Since the Coast Guard pier is squarely between Fisherman’s Wharf and Cannery Row, this will frequently attract the attention of the large tourist population.
3. Sometimes, a carcass will become firmly wedged in the rocks of the breakwall.
4. The tensile strength of double-braided nylon line is much higher than that of a decayed sea lion carcass.
5. If you are going to watch one of these procedures, I advise dressing as if it were a Gallagher performance.
Kinda seems like GWAR would be more appropriate for this one. (I know, Gallagher works just fine, just saying, GWAR would be even better.)
“Like, Nick Wilde is hot and all, but, y’know, he’s whiffy, and Judy never once mentions it.” Maybe Judy really does love Nick. After all, they say if you love someone, you overlook minor things about them.
You know that fishy smell comes from a bacterial infection and is not normally present in women? FUN FACT.
