Sea Lions take a dip in the Trafalgar Square fountains

It was exactly 11.50am on a cold bright morning at Trafalgar Square when four 8 year old sea lions flipped and flapped their way down the steps at Trafalgar Square and leapt into the fountains below Nelson's Column. The four sea lions Billy, Hoola, Nanouk and Toto have bathed unashamedly in public in some of the best fountains in Europe. After all, when your a top circus sea lion , only the best is good enough. So when they came to London to appear at the Bertram Mills circus at Olympia, their trainer Fernand Danion thought of Trafalgar Square, London, 16th January 1964.
