answer your question, what is a sea lion? Sea lions are one of the most amazing and cute-looking <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/types-of-sea-animals\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>marine animals<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>in the world. They belong to the Otariidae family which designate \u201clittle ears\u201d. But you can also identify sea lions by their short, coarse hair coat.<\/p>\n<p>They are equipped with four webbed flippers which help in the stability of their pivot-shaped body. The mechanism of their body helps them in functioning excellently in both air and water. Their body comprises thick hair, long whiskers along with a big chest and belly.<\/p>\n<p>Along with seals and walruses, Sea lions are a part of the scientific group of mammals called \u201cPinnipeds\u201d which means \u201cfeather foot\u201d or \u201cwing foot\u201d. They often travel in a group of 12-15. You must also know that a group of sea lions is famously known as a raft.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Do_Sea_Lions_Live\"><\/span><strong>Where Do Sea Lions Live?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sea lions are found in specific climatic conditions such as the subarctic and tropics. Sea lions are spotted in a large company on both sea and land. Different species of sea lions are found across the globe and all of them have some differences. Therefore, their <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/types-of-animals-based-on-habitat\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>habitat<\/strong><\/span><\/a> depends on certain factors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sea lions have different breeds and their habitat depends upon various conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"California_Sea_lion\"><\/span><strong><em>California Sea lion<\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These species are found on the western coast of the North American continent.

They usually eat almost 5 to 8 % every day of their total body weight which is approx. 15-35 pounds of food. They feed on different kinds of organisms including fishes (herring, anchovies, salmon, hake, and rockfish), octopuses, clams, and opaleye.<\/p>\n<p>They use their intelligence in swimming and hunting. So, with 34 to 38 teeth, the mouth of a sea lion is capable of grabbing and ripping up its food. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/a-z-animals.com\/blog\/what-do-sea-lions-eat\/\"><strong>sea lions eat<\/strong><\/a> their food in large portions without chewing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/facts-about-tigers\/\">interesting facts<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that one should know about sea lions is that they don\u2019t drink water. They fulfill their moisture needs from their food. Studies show that the male sea lion can drink some amount of water &amp; adapt to fasting during the mating season. The fasting period can last up to a couple of weeks. They adopt fasting as a necessary option to defend their area.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_Foods_a_Sea_lion_Eats\"><\/span><strong>List of Foods a Sea lion Eats<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Below is the list of all food items sea lion eats<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hake<\/li>\n<li>Squid<\/li>\n<li>Crab<\/li>\n<li>Clams<\/li>\n<li>Octopus<\/li>\n<li>Opaleye<\/li>\n<li>Herring<\/li>\n<li>Lamprey<\/li>\n<li>Steelhead<\/li>\n<li>Salmon<\/li>\n<li>Northern Anchovy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_a_Sea_lion_Weigh\"><\/span><strong>How much does a Sea lion Weigh?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The weight of a sea lion depends on the gender and development stage. The females averagely weigh between 200 to 400 pounds (90-180 kg) in weight along with the length between 5 and 6.5 feet (1.5-2.0 m). A baby sea lion when born weighs around 13 pounds (6kg) and is approx. 2.5 feet (75 cm) long.<\/p>\n<p>Males are usually larger and weigh around 600 to 800 pounds (270-360 kg), with 6.5 to 8 feet (2-2.4m) in length.

They have numerous sleeping positions mostly they sleep on top of each other. Sea lions can also communicate with other pinnipeds namely harbor seals and the northern fur seals. These species tend to dive to the bottom of the skin-deep area of the sea &amp; only come to the surface for the air. Sea lions can swim upright in the deeper sea with only their nose out of the water.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_do_Sea_lions_live\"><\/span><strong>How long do Sea lions live?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The layers of teeth in the mouth of a sea lion can easily tell its lifespan.

There are many visible differences between sea lions and seals. The sea lion has an external ear as compared to the seal.<\/p>\n<p>The seal on the other hand has a small opening for the ear they do not have the external ear flap. Seals have thinly webbed flippers with a claw which is useful in hunting whereas the sea lion has full-skin-covered flippers which are very useful in walking on land as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/is-it-safe-to-swim-with-dolphins\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>swimming<\/strong><\/span><\/a> underwater.<\/p>\n<p>Seals are very quiet and only communicate through low-frequency grunts. The sea lions are loud and noisy as compared to seals. Although both <a href=\"https:\/\/oceanservice.noaa.gov\/facts\/seal-sealion.html#:~:text=Sea%20lions%20(left)%20are%20brown,and%20lack%20visible%20ear%20flaps\"><strong>seals and sea lions<\/strong><\/a> are capable of living underwater and on land. But the seals are more comfortable living underwater.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_difference_of_Flippers_in_Sea_lion_and_Seal\"><\/span><strong>The difference of Flippers in Sea lion and Seal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Both these species are similar in chubby body appearance but only seals possess adaptive dynamics for living underwater.\u00a0 The flippers on seals can only move backward &amp; do not rotate which makes them quick swimmers in water but also is a disadvantage to moving on land. Seals live a very antisocial life as they mostly prefer to live underwater.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Behavior_differences_in_Sea_lion_and_Seals\"><\/span><strong>Behavior differences in Sea lion and Seals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>They only come in groups onshore once a year for mating. Seals prefer to live an unaccompanied life without interference. On the other hand, the sea lion is a social species and is popular for moving in big herds. The total capacity of these herds can reach up to 1,500 sea lion members. These herds are visible in the coastal regions in which sea lions stop and lounge in the sand and lie in the shapeless form under the sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Sea lions have a pelvic girdle through which they can move with more ease on land. The pelvic girdle helps them in rotating flippers located under their body which makes them walk like other animals.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_in_Walking_Patterns_between_Sea_lion_and_Seal\"><\/span><strong>Difference in Walking Patterns between Sea lion and Seal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The walking pattern of the seal is similar to a <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/different-types-of-insects\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #339966;\">caterpillar<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Seals move their faired body to push forward this requires less time and effort. In water, both seals and sea lions are similar in swimming. Sea lions use their big front flipper to swim with ease in water whereas seals move in a side-by-side pattern which gives the speed and agility to swim underwater.<\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>In this article, we have elaborated and explained the most common questions about what is a sea lion and the difference between sea lions and seals with other useful information.
