Lion
Genera and species: Otaria byronia Collective Term: A splash of sea lions
Description
Sea lions have little respect for the value of money and even though they have the talent to accumulate vast wealth are much more likely to be found at the beach --spending it rather than earning it. Alas, the lack of money doesn't discourage the sea lion from those spending sprees that leave it in debt, for saving for the future is never a priority and sea lions are forever emptying the penny jar or mooching a few bucks to buy a tuna sandwich. The sea lion's agile minds is exercised by long hours of debate on issues of philosophy. Their lazy dispositions, however, can result in conversations that lack substance and logical grounding. Still, they are curious about the universe, paying particular attention to numerology and astrology. Their cheerful dispositions belie a hot tempered core. When reacting assertively, their attack comes in the form of a sharp, barked retort, but they have no natural enemies and their slippery personas provide sufficient defense in the event of an attack. Their smooth personalities
are well suited for a wide range of sales positions. Whether selling real
estate or motor vehicles, they are skillful, enthusiastic and sincere. Their
straightforward, genuine desire to help others shines through in their work
and others instinctively trust them. However, their careers suffer from
their lack of motivation, for they are prone to rest on their laurels. Their
irrepressible nature craves the spotlight and they enjoy performing, telling
stories and hogging the attention of their large group of friends.
The sea lion's sex-life is a hoot. Although its ardor and enthusiasm can make a partner feel as though he or she is the only person in its life, it soon becomes apparent the sea lion feels the same way about many people. It's not that the sea lion enjoys being unfaithful --it just doesn't like to say no. The sea lion is a sucker for flattery and its greatest aphrodisiac is someone showing an interest in it. Because they are in such high demand, sea lions rarely have to initiate romantic encounters. Sea lions have no fear of intimacy and are appealingly candid about their deepest secrets. By revealing their flaws, they believe that their faults might be absolved. Curiously, this technique seems to work, for most lovers are willing to put up with an inordinate amount of bull. The sea lion also regularly exercises its option of swimming away when things get rough. Why struggle with the rocky realities of life when there's a big inviting ocean in which to hide? |
