1. sea lion

   A sea lion is a large marine mammal known for its flippers, external ear flaps, and ability to walk on all fours. They belong to the family Otariidae and are characterized by a playful nature and loud bark. Sea lions, unlike seals, can rotate their hind flippers forward and underneath their bodies to assist in their mobility on land, and possess thick fur and blubber layers to keep them warm in cold water. They are primarily found in the Pacific Ocean but some species also inhabit sub-Antarctic and tropical regions.

1. Sea lion

   Sea lions are sea mammals characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, and short, thick hair. Together with the fur seals they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average life span of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on an average about 300 kg and is about 8 ft long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg and is 6 ft long. The largest sea lion is the Steller's sea lion which can weigh 1,000 kg and grow to a length of 10 ft. Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight at a single feeding.
