California Sea Lion

Zalophus californianus

Description:

A huge California sea lion (I mean this thing had to be like, eight feet long) at the Tulsa Zoo. Everyone knows what California sea lions are. But some fun facts about them are this: Sea lions are particularly intelligent, can be trained to perform various tasks and display limited fear of humans if accustomed to them. Because of this, California sea lions are a popular choice for public display in zoos, circuses and oceanariums, and are trained by the United States Navy for certain military operations. Does that make them Navy S.E.A.L.S.?

Habitat:

California sea lions, in spite of the name, are found along almost the entire eastern coast of North America.
