*** About California Sea Lions: California sea lions are a fascinating species native to the western coast of North America. Known for their intelligence and playful nature, these marine mammals are highly social, living in large colonies. They are adept swimmers, using their streamlined bodies and flippers to navigate the coastal waters in search of food, which mainly consists of fish and squid. During breeding season, males establish territories and gather harems of females, with whom they mate.
