| Sea lions While this looks like a "family" of sea lions, that would be a misnomer. Typically a single bull looks after a dozen or more females, and each female usually gives birth to a single pup each year. The three pups here probably have different mothers. Defending his harem is a fulltime job for the dominant male. We saw one who was challenged by younger males several times every hour. |
