Steller sea lions are rare compared to what they were. I just finished a project on them and their population has dropped almost 80% since the 1980's. Today there is under 25,000 of them left so compared to what they were yes they would be considered rare
whales
one or two.
They are carnivores

Steller's Sea-lion (Eumetopias jubatus)
Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin - 2011 Steller Sea Lions 2-3 was released on: USA: 20 October 2012
The Steller's Sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), is also known as the Northern sea lion. It lives in the northern Pacific. The population of eastern and Asian steller sea lions (California, British Columbia and south east Alaska) is currently at the status of "under threat". The western Steller's sea lions (Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Russia and Japan), particularly those around the Aleutian Islands, were placed on the endangered list in the 1990s, their population having fallen by 70-80% since the 1970s. It is thought that killer whales, their main predator, has played a major part in the reduction of their numbers, as has overfishing of the steller sea lions' food supply. In the past, they have been hunted for their skin. Steller's sea lions do not hibernate, as they are well insulated by their blubber.
Because it is the circle of life.

Steller's Sea Eagle was created in 1811.
Yes! killer whales are eating the pups of the steller sea lions. The pups are born on a off coast island and spend a majority of their pup years off the shore of the island. This makes them easy to find to killer whales and so the killer whales will eat the pups. Since there are less pups, there will be less adult sea lions in the next generation.
Steller sea lions are opportunistic and eat a wide range of fish including herring, pollock, salmon, cod and rockfishes, as well as squid and shrimp. To survive, an adult sea lion needs to eat at least 6% of its body weight each day. Interestingly enough, Steller sea lions do not need to drink water because the food they eat provides them with all the water they need. Sea lions do not chew their food, most is swallowed whole. Feeding occurs in groups and at night between 9 PM and 6 AM.
