WHY SEA LIONS ?
|
Did you know sea lions are among the most social and communicative animals on earth?
Sea lions are primarily vocal communicators. Moms and pups even have their own special call ! They also excel in non-verbal communication with breath and body language to form bonds . Sea Lion Speech and Ready Therapy began in magical Seattle, where it was easy to find a sea lion to admire. Now that Meg is back in her midwestern roots, the name has stuck in celebration of these incredible creatures . |
