It uses its bellie to help him push his self through the water and if he wants to come out the water for a couple of seconds he pushes his bellie down and up and he comes out the water sea lions are one of the slowest moving sea creture in the world.
WELL... One arm moves forward and then pushes back, and then the other arm on the other side moves froward and pushes back. In the lower quarters the legs are going in circular motions propelling him through the water. MEANWHILE.... His cheeks are puffed up from holding the element oxygen in his lungs until it resurfaces causing the blown up cheeks.
YES i do have a lot of time on my hands.
They do some kind of dip up and down over and over.
Certainly, in fact they spend 90% of their life in the water.
How do sea lions travel? They swim. they don't travel though. They swim in the water to go get food and then go back to their home.
they have a tail
they swim at birth
whales
one or two.
Eumetopias jubatus.
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 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
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.
its brown. has wisckers, and its big thats what i think it is dont get mad if you get it wrong
Steller Se Lions had to adapt to living with less food.
