California Sea Lions Seals vs. Sea Lions Speed Life Span Diet ... Breeding There are 33 species of Pinnipeds ("wing" or "fin footed") which include 13 true seals, 14 eared seals (sea lions and fur seals), and one walrus. California sea lions belong to the family Otariidae which means "little ears." In the scientific community, there are many debates concerning the ancestry of eared and true seals. Some scientists believe that eared seals and walrus' may have evolved 30 million years ago from bear-like creatures in the North Pacific and that seals evolved from otter-like carnivores in the North Atlantic. SEALS VS. SEA LIONS: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? Seals and sea lions have several visible differences. Sea lions have external ear flaps, whereas seals have a small opening for an ear and lack an external ear flap. A flexible pelvic girdle enables sea lions to move more easily on land by rotating their hind flippers underneath their bodies and walking like other four-legged animals. To move on land, seals propel their streamlined bodies in a way similar to a caterpillar. Both seals and sea lions are professionals in the water environment. Sea lions use their large front flippers to propel themselves through the water. Seals use their hind flippers in a side-to-side motion.

Sitka Scientists across the Pacific Northwest have been studying stellar sea lions in captivity and in the wild for years. The world population of the marine mammals has dropped from more than 300,000 to fewer than 100,000. Stellar sea lions are listed as an endangered species in the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands. Sitka is a six-year-old stellar sea lion. Although visitors can usually see her at the Vancouver Aquarium, for the past four months she's lived at a marina in Port Moody. Sitka is the focus of a unique open ocean study, according to trainer Vance Mercer. "I look at these animals as ambassadors to their species," said Mercer. "What we learn and what I am doing with them is very important to the wild population." Some scientists believe stellars are vanishing because their food source is disappearing. That's where trained sea lions like Sitka come in.

Many of the animals, which have descended on the area over several days, are starving or injured. Workers have been picking up several sea lions a day for a week, said Dick Holm, a volunteer with the Marine Mammal Center. Many animals are severely underweight. One pup rescued Wednesday was so skinny its head slipped through the holes in the net volunteers used to catch it. Rescue workers use large boards to herd each animal into a net, then use the net to transfer it to a cage. The volunteers then take it to a triage center in Moss Landing, where it is evaluated, given food and medicine as needed, and then taken to the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. There, the animal receives further veterinary care and may stay several weeks, regaining its health before being released, Holm said. The Marine Mammal Center relies on calls from the public to know when an animal needs rescuing. They pick up sea lions that are clearly ill, injured or less than 40 pounds, about half their normal body weight. Most of the sea lions amassed in Monterey now are a little thin but in good health, Holm said. A few have been injured by fishing nets or boat propellers.

88. Science Notes 2001: Sea Lion Savvy Two California sea lions are making waves in scientificcircles and proving that animals do think. http://scicom.ucsc.edu/SciNotes/0101/sealion.htm

R Inspired by research with bottlenose dolphins at the University of Hawaii, Schusterman taught Rocky sign language at age 10. She learned to perform complex tasks involving multiple signs, such as touching a small white ball with her flipper or bringing a big black cone to a small black ball. Individual dolphins and primates had already become proficient with sign language, but Rocky is all the more noteworthy for clearing the same mental hurdle with a smaller brain. Her accomplishment led Schusterman to speculate that he was dealing with a very basic learning process that could be at the root of many complex behaviors. So he set out to reveal the underlying mechanism. The sea lions learned to match many pairs of symbols through trial and error, with fish as positive reinforcement. Once they had a firm grasp of the relationships between the pairs, the animals were given new choices that had not been directly trained to see how they would react. For example, theyhad previously learned that the picture of a castle goes with the golf club, and that the golf club goes with the pizza. But could they make the logical connection that the pizza goes with the castle? For Rio, the answer is a convincing yes. She knew the answer immediately, and she responded correctly the first time she was given the same type of choice with every group of symbols.

The Steller sea lion, an unassuming marine mammal protected under the Endangered Species Act, is facing new threats from salmon farmers and commercial trawlers. Last summer, the Steller was the focus of environmentalists' outrage when dozens of the sea mammals were discovered slaughtered on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Over the course of the year, the sea lions have become a friction point between commercial fishing interests and environmental advocacy groups. The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has known for more than a decade that sea lions are lured by thousands of salmon that cluster in fish-farm pens along the Pacific Coast. To address the problem of break-ins, the department issues licenses that permit farmers to shoot marine mammal predators if they threaten their stock.

90. Australian Sea-lion The Australian sealion. sea-lions swim in cold sea water. They are coveredin fur. sea-lions are pinnipeds , which means fin foot , like seals. http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/sea-lion.htm

The Australian Sea-lion Sea-lions swim in cold sea water. They eat fish. They live on beaches. They have flippers instead of legs. They are covered in fur. Sea-lions are ' pinnipeds ', which means 'fin foot', like seals. They are marine mammals, able to swim in extremely cold water. Sea-lions and fur seals are similar, and are in a family known as 'eared seals'. Unlike the 'earless seals',they are quite agile on land. The front flippers are used on land to prop themselves up on, and in the water to swim with. They use their back flippers rather like a leg on land, and as a rudder in the water. They have a layer of fur under the top fur, and this helps keep them warm in the cold water, together with a thick layer of fat. The Australian sea-lion is the only pinniped that is found only in Australia, living along parts of the western and southern coastline. They were once found further east, but seal hunters killed the colonies in Bass Strait towards the end of the 19th century. Males weigh about 300 kilograms. They are about three times heavier than the females. Males have dark brown fur with pale neck and females have grey fur on their back with creamy fur on their front. They are very social animals, and gather in groups of 10-15. They spend time sunbaking on sandy beaches and rocks.

Sea-lions Population Diet Diving ... Research Australian Sea-lion Neophoca cinerea Sea-lions Along with Fur-seals, Sea-lions belong to the eared seal family, or Otariidae. They differ from true seals, or Phocidae, by having external ears, propelling themselves through the water with their front flippers and are more agile on land (as they are capable of "walking" on all four flippers). Population The world population of the Australian Sea-lion is about 12,000. Of these 8,500 occur in South Australia and 3,500 in Western Australia. They are one of the rarest seal species in the world. Dangerous Reef: approx. 1,650 Seal Bay: approx. 700 The Pages: approx. 2,100 They occur from The Pages (two small islands east of Kangaroo Island), along the southern coast of South Australia and around the Western Australian coast to the Houtmans Abrolhos Islands near Geraldton. Seal Bay Conservation Park supports the third largest colony of Australian Sea-lions with a population of approximately 700 (5% of the world total).

92. Logical Sea-lion Nature. The logical sealion of Santa Cruz. sea-lions don t do that in the wild,so the question is whether there s any scientific point in doing it. http://www.geocities.com/Omegaman_UK/sealion.html

Nature The logical sea-lion of Santa Cruz Rio the seal-lion can manipulate symbols and add up - but should we be asking him to? Doctor Schusterman's counting sea-lion is the pride of Santa Cruz University. Schusterman, an animal psychologist, has found seven-year- old Rio to have "a true understanding of symmetry and transitivity". Rio, who lives in the university's Sea-Lion Cognitive Laboratory, can work out that if A equals B and B equals C, then C equals A. Rio will also pair up equal symbols, letters and pictures. No animal has done this before. Not everyone agrees that the advance is a good thing. Lionel Roe, a sea-lion keeper at Chessington Zoo, is one of them. "Sea-lions don't do that in the wild, so the question is whether there's any scientific point in doing it. My personal view is let animals behave in as natural a way as possible." To Dr Schusterman, Rio's abilities represent "the intelligence of logic that precedes the arrival of language". He likens it to human babies who, before they can speak, "think" using mathematical laws that already inhabit the brain.
