FAQ
Why is it called Sleeping Lion if the anchor is a sea lion?
The local Spanish name León Dormido means Sleeping Lion, but the Galápagos Sea Lion is the stronger biological anchor for AnimalDex because it belongs to the archipelago's real fauna.
Is Kicker Rock one rock or two?
It is a split sea stack formation rising from the water, which helps create the resting animal silhouette from certain angles.
