Contents Badger Beaver Bighorn Mountain Sheep Black Bear ... Login California Sea Lion Zalophus califonianus Description - Typical colouring ranges from tan to chocolate brown and may appear black when wet. The head has a pointed muzzle and the profile resembles that of a dog. The hair is short; the flippers are long and leathery with nails. An adult male is larger weighing about 800 pounds with a sagittal crest or bump on the top of the head; the female who is considerably smaller, averages 250 pounds. Distribution - The California Sea Lion occurs from Baja California to Alaska. Biology - This playful, noisy, exuberant, quick learner is the "trained seal" of the circus. It is highly adaptable to any surrounding and use a variety of habitats. When resting on rocks or beaches they point their noses skyward and may be seen laying atop one another. When at sea they raft together, playing and leaping clear of the surface. Their long fore flippers enable them to make powerful strokes while swimming and they may reach speeds of 25 mph. They are very vocal and bark like dogs; the pups have a bleatlike call. The California Sea Lion prey on schooling fish, rockfish, squid, flatfish, hake, lamprey, dogfish and salmon. This healthy population continues to flourish despite ongoing conflicts with commercial and sport fisheries.

Home Alaska Science Center Steller Sea Lions A collaborative effort of the Alaska Regional Office and Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Steller sea lion bull. Photo: NMFS Overview The listing of the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1990 created new challenges for fisheries managers in the National Marine Fisheries Service and the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council. Managers must balance between two sometimes conflicting objectives: protecting and aiding the recovery of the Steller sea lion under the Endangered Species Act while at the same time providing for sustainable and economically viable fisheries under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.

The Northern Sea Lion is also commonly named the Steller Sea Lion. Appearance The Northern sea lion is the largest of the sea lions. Males may be upto 310 cm in length and weigh around 900 kg. Females are much smaller, 200 cm (291 according to Loughlin and Nelson, 1987) and they can weigh upto 300 kg. The Northern sea lion is usually yellowish brown in color. The males have distinctive manes. Pups are dark brown during the first year. Distribution Feeding The diet consists of mainly non-commercial fish species and cephalopods. Also the commercially exploited pollock can be part of the diet (Loughlin and Nelson, 1987). Population dynamics and life history The age at maturity is for females 4-5 years, for males 7-9 years (9-13 years according to Loughlin and Nelson, 1987). The pregnancy rate is 85-86%. Gestation lasts one year, including a delay of implantation of about 3 months. Longevity is estimated to be about 23 years.Pup mortality ranges, depending on the situation in the rookery, from 10 to 100%. York (1994) estimated the survival rates for animals of age 3-4 at 0.93, with slowly declining survival rates at increased age (0.841 at age 12-13). York estimated the fecundity (average number of female offspring produced by each female) of animal of 6 years and older at 0.315 for the Alaskan population.

Hear about Stellers (Real Audio 3.0) Family and species The variety of sea lions which live at Sea Lion Caves is commonly called the Northern, or Steller, sea lion. This sea lion is named after George Wilhelm Steller, an eminent German naturalist who accompanied the Russian explorer Vitus Bering in 1741 on his second Alaskan expedition. Steller was the first qualified observer to study and classify these animals. The Steller sea lion is a member of the Otariidae family, or eared seal. It is characterized by an external ear which can be closed when entering water and by hind feet or flippers that point forward. In contrast, Phocidae, or true seal, has no external ears and it's rear flippers point backward. Also belonging to the Otariidae family is the California sea lion and the Alaska fur seal. The Alaska fur seal (Callorhinus alascanus), is not found at Sea Lion Caves. The California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) is seen all along the Pacific Coast and is generally found at Sea Lion Caves from late fall to early spring. It readily adapts to captivity and is trained for circus acts. Physical Characteristics Sea Lions are mammals, or warm blooded animals which give birth, nurse their offspring, and must breathe air. Sea Lions are also pinnipeds literally, feather-footed meaning they have finlike members for propulsion. Their pelvic bone structure allows independent use of their flippers, and therefore, they can walk on their four weblike flippers which contain the same bony structure as the legs of land animals. In the water, the Steller sea lion swims by using a breast stroke and may reach a top speed of about 17 m.p.h. In contrast, other marine animals, such as the whale, depend on fishlike body action to move through the water. The true fur seal folds its front flippers and swims by the force of its trailing rear flippers.

Although Otaria byronia is now widely accepted, still Otaria flavescens (Shaw, 1800) is used as an alternative (Vaz-Ferreira, 1982). Rice (1998) argues, that O. flavescens is the correct name. Common names that are used instead of Southern Sea Lion include South American Sea Lion and Patagonian Sea Lion. Appearance Males measure on average 260 cm and weigh around 300 kg. Females are usually about 200 cm and weigh 150 kg. Pups measure around 80 cm and weigh from 10 to 15 kg. Male pups are usually bigger. The Southern sea lion has a dark brown dorsal side and a yellowish brown ventral. Males have lighter coloured manes. Females have no manes, but have a lighter coloured fur in the head and neck area. Pups are born with a black coat. After a few months they have a grey coat which at the age of one year is reddish brown. Distribution The Southern sea lion can be found on both the Atlantic and Pacific shores of South America. On the Atlantic side the range stretches from Rio de Janeiro at 23S down to the southern tip of the continent at 55S. At the Pacific side it ranges as far north as Zorritos in Peru (4S). There is no obvious migration.

Printouts The California sea lion is a type of seal that lives in cool waters off the rocky coast of western North America. This marine mammal makes a roaring noise (hence its name), barks, and honks. Sea lions are fast swimmers, going up to 25 mph (40 kph) in short bursts. They are also very fast on land, "walking" with all four flippers. These intelligent and social animals congregate in large groups on land (called colonies) and smaller groups in the water (called rafts). Breeding areas are called rookeries. (Classification: Suborder Pinnipedia, Family Otariidae, Subfamily Otariinae, Genus Zalophus, Species californianus) Anatomy : The California sea lion has a thick layer of blubber (fat), short, thick fur that is dark brown to buff-colored, and a dog-like head. Males (called bulls) are darker and bigger than females. Males also have a thick furry mane around the neck. Bulls weigh up to 850 pounds (380 kg) and are up to 8 feet (2.5 m) long. Females weigh up to 250 pounds (115 kg) and are up to 6.5 feet (2 m) long. The whiskers (called vibrissae) help the seal's sense of touch. The nostrils are closed in the resting state. The sea lion has small external ears and a good sense of hearing. It also has keen eyesight but no color vision.

www.eParks.org>> Marine Wildlife MARINE WILDLIFE American Alligator ... Make a Difference Steller Sea Lion (Eumetopias jubatus) Factoid: The Steller sea lion got its name from the German naturalist Wilhelm Steller, who described it as a "lion of the sea" because of its golden eyes and bellowing roar. Status: Stellers are threatened everywhere, except the population segment in Alaska, which is endangered. Population: 40,000 to 64,000, 70 percent of which reside in Alaska. Threats: Sea lion populations in the Gulf of Alaska are dwindling because their prey is declining as commercial fisheries increase their take. Gunshots and net entanglement are also to blame for sea lion deaths. Stellers are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. Survival: The average life span of Steller sea lions is about 20 to 23 years. Steller sea lions are the largest sea lions and are often confused with California sea lions. Steller males are larger than bears, weighing up to 2,200 pounds. They can be 8 to 11 feet long. Females are a bit smaller, at 6 to 8 feet long and 600 to 800 pounds. Stellers are light to reddish-brown and bulky. Their thick necks resemble a lion's mane, which contributes to their name.
