TWO sea lions canoodle in the middle of the road.
The pair sealed their relationship for a few minutes and police put down traffic cones to protect them.
They had already escaped a metal fence police put down on Sunday to stop them going into the road.
Wildlife photographer Genti Cena took their photograph in Stanley on the Falklands Islands.
Genti said: “I saw someone posting on Facebook that the sea lions were heading for the road, and the police blocked them with some metal fences so they don't go on the road.”
Genti added: "When I arrived they had escaped from the fence and they were on the pavement sealing the relationship.
“Half an hour later two police came and blocked the road on both sides.
“I left after half an hour and the sea lions were still there.
"I think later they chased them to the sea."
