Sea lions are beautiful animals that are a wonder to behold in natural environment.
Sea lions are incredibly acrobatic animals. They can swim very fast and turn in narrow areas.
It is easy to get captivated by seals with their big, beautiful eyes and lovely round faces.
These Sea lions, beautiful animals live in coastal waters, hunting for fish in the sea and returning to land to give birth to their young.
When hunting underwater for fish, some seals can hold their breath for half an hour.
After leaving water to warm up, sea lions and seals move around on land or ice using their flippers; their scientific classification (pinnipeds) means “fin-feet.”
They are currently protected in the U.S., but sea lions and seals are still scapegoated for fish declines that have resulted from overfishing. Many Alaskan species are also threatened by habitat loss and the decline in polar ice where they’ve traditionally lived.
It’s important to keep protections under the Marine Mammal Protection Act strong for both sea lions and seals.
