I'd have guessed this to have been shot with a telephoto. They tend to be skittish and I understand smelling their breath can pretty much eliminate your future appetite. Wide angle?

You are correct, but 1) Sealion of approval doesn't make quite as good of a pun. 2) Someone would point out that he isn't a charged particle.
