Yes, when two sea lions fight for a mate, they are acting selfishly, to get what they want for themselves at the expense of their fellow sea lion. Of course, sea lions do not have any concept of morality or of civilized behavior, so selfishness is pretty much automatic. It would be very strange to find a sea lion who is motivated by altruism or by a love of his fellow sea lions.
Yes. The action will benefit one individual, and likely the population, to the detriment of another individual. The "opposite" is altruistic behavior, where an individual member of a species acts directly to benefit the group or population. For example, a male praying mantis who is devoured after mating.

Zoologist, a branch of biology or possibly ethologist (animal behavior)
Herbivores like cattle, rabbits, guinea pigs, and antelope are not omnivores. Carnivores like lions, tigers, cheetahs, and leopards are not omnivores.
This area is called a territory. A pride of lions, for example, set boundaries in which they move freely, hunt and play. Other lions are not allowed here, and will be chased off or killed.

Fighting to win a mate is common throughout the animal world. It has more to do with survival of the species in that the strongest passes on his genetic material. Feelings are more likely to be attributed to expressions by people.

I would think that lions are are better at fighting, since they are stronger.
They run from lions. They also do other things.
