*** About California Sea Lions: California sea lions are a vital part of marine biodiversity along the West Coast of the United States. Known scientifically as Zalophus californianus, these animals are highly intelligent and can adapt to a variety of habitats, often found lounging on beaches or jetties. They possess a playful nature and gregarious tendencies, often seen playing in the surf or vocalizing loudly amongst each other. Their diet mainly consists of squid, hake, and anchovies. Conservation efforts continue to be crucial for maintaining the health of their populations, which have faced threats from habitat loss and pollution.
