About
The California sea lion is a sleek coastal mammal that can grow longer than a tall adult human.
Males are significantly larger than females, which typically weigh only about 220 pounds (100 kg) and reach roughly 6 feet (1.8 m) in length. Mature males also develop thick necks and raised head crests that add to their bulky outline on land. Although they dwarf smaller species like harbor seals, California sea lions are much smaller than northern Steller sea lions, which can weigh well over 2,000 pounds (900 kg).
From Wikipedia
The California sea lion is a coastal eared seal native to western North America. It is one of six species of sea lions.
