What is a Sea Lion?
Sea lions are playful marine mammals known for their strong front flippers and loud barking sounds. They live along coastlines and islands in the Pacific Ocean, often gathering in large groups called colonies. Most sea lions can live up to 20 years in the wild, and adult males can weigh over 300 kilograms (around 660 pounds), while females are usually smaller. Their bodies are covered with short, coarse fur that helps keep them warm in chilly waters. Sea lions are excellent swimmers and can dive deep to hunt for fish, squid, and other sea creatures. They often rest on land or floating rocks between dives, soaking up the sun with a happy bark.
