Details for Sea Lion

• Sea Lion

  Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by their external ear flaps, long foreflippers, and ability to walk on all four limbs on land by rotating their hind flippers forward. They are generally larger than seals, with males often displaying thick necks and sometimes manes. Their size varies by species, with males of Steller sea lions reaching over 3 meters (10 feet) and weighing over 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs). Found along coastlines in temperate and tropical waters worldwide, sea lions are highly social, gathering in large rookeries. They are agile swimmers, feeding on fish, squid, and crustaceans. Their loud barking calls are a common sound in their habitats.
