SEA LION
Sea lion, any of six species of eared seals found primarily in Pacific waters. Sea lions are
characterized by a coat of short coarse hair that lacks a distinct undercoat. Except for the
California sea lion (Zalophus californianus), males have lion-like manes and constantly roar to
defend their harems (hence their name).
Unlike the true, or earless, seals (family Phocidae), sea lions and other eared seals (family
Otariidae) are able to rotate their hind flippers forward to use all four limbs when moving about on
land. Sea lions also have longer flippers than true seals. Sea lions feed principally on fish,
crustaceans, and cephalopods (squid and octopus), but they also will consume penguins. Breeding
occurs in large herds, the males establishing harems of 3 to 20 females. Brown pups are born
after a gestation period of 12 months. Sea lions are hunted, though not on a large scale, for their
meat, hides, and blubber.
