Sea lion with Friends Show in Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩 Ancol Part 2

Observing sea lions for the first time, I found myself pondering why they were named as such when they resembled dogs more. To me, 'sea dog' seemed like a more fitting name.
In India, due to certain restrictions, circuses have ceased using animals in their shows. Consequently, the last animal show I had watched dated back to my childhood.
The show featured three sea lions, each with its own trainer. They engaged in several acts such as playing with a ball, catching it, balancing it on their noses, and executing high jumps. The trainers continuously fed the sea lions to maintain their engagement and motivation throughout the show.
Later, one of the sea lions danced with its trainer, almost like a couple, even engaging in a 'kiss'. To remain in the show business, these individuals had to perform various peculiar tasks.
The sea lions had been taught numerous human-like gestures including clapping, saluting, waving, and even some basic mathematics. The trainer would ask the audience for two numbers, although he would selectively choose the numbers he desired. He wrote '5X3' on a slate and the sea lion, responding correctly, rang the bell 15 times.
