The animals sunbathed and bathed on the rocks in an area known as “Laje de Barra Velha”. According to Marcelo, this place is located 900 meters from the central city beach.

“The place is already surprising, and even more so the presence of these sea animals. We were amazed at how calm they were even in our presence. Of course we snuck inside so they wouldn’t get scared,” says Marcelo.

He and his son often walk around the neighborhood, and the presence of animals surprised them both. Marcelo, however, mentions that this was the first time his son Matheus had seen one of these animals up close, which makes the trip even more special.

“There were six of them, and I think there were even more because the stove is rich in food for them,” says Marcelo.
