The Sea Lion

The sea lion, or zalophus, is a mammal widely distributed throughout the world. There are seven known species, and they are predators that can reach a longer body than humans.

Species <span style="color: #5c02de; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">There are seven known sea lion species, although one has already become extinct, the Japanese Sea Lion. This species has been extinct since the 1950’s and the extinction was a wake up call to the conservationalists and researchers. The remaining six sea lion species include: The California sea lion, the South American sea lion, the Australian sea lion, the Steller sea lion, the Galapagos sea lion, and the New Zealand, our very own sea lion.

<span style="color: #5c02de; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Physical Appearance <span style="color: #5c02de; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">The female California sea lion reaches about 1.5 to 2m and weigh from 50 to 110kg, while the male California sea lions reach an extra 0.5m and weigh a whopping 200 to 400kg. The sea lions have ear flaps, and long fore-flippers. They have the ability to walk on all fours, and short, thick hair.

<span style="color: #5c02de; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Diet <span style="color: #5c02de; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">Sea lions are predators that obtain their food from the ocean. They feed on more than 50 species of fish, and cephatopods, primarily on; squid, octopi, hake, anchovies, opaleye, and herring.

Others prefer to live in the warmer waters of the tropics, although there are no sea lions that live in the Atlantic Ocean. They spend their lives in land and water.

These include Killer-whales, sharks, and humans. Humans, pose the biggest threat to sea lions because they are predators on both land and in the water.
