The picture was taken in Newport Beach California. My friend and I can't identify if it's a seal or a sea lion. Can someone help us to identify this animal

Yes but there are 3 species of sea lions on the coast. Most likely the California. Because the mom is dark
Sea lions have visible ear flaps.
I agree California sea lion (Zalophus californianus)
I think it's a california sea lion
