Learn about sea lions and elephant seals and why they are called sentinels of the sea by The Marine Mammal Center just north of San Francisco.
Sea lions are marine mammals. The sea lion can live on land or in the sea. The California sea lion is featured in the video but not the Stellar sea lion. For those who woonder where do sea lions live- both the California sea lions and steller sea lions can be seen off the coast of California; the steller sea lion population can be seen intermingled with the California sea lion range along the Northern and Southern coasts of California and other parts of the world (although I have only seen them in person in California). If you are wondering where the California sea lion is located along the coast, there are two rookeries that I have seen with an abundance of marine mammals both seals and sea lion habitat at Ano Nuevo between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay and by Santa Barbara. California sea lion food is a diet of fish and more fish- they love mackerel.
