Seals and Sea Lions

It is possible, since sea lions are playful with humans

Sea lions like most animals live in the wild (wow big surpise there) so naturally they would be afraid of anything that seems dangerous, Just like any bird or other wild animals you see in your day to day life.

Last summer I got lucky and had the pleasure of one riding a wave with me, off the Oregon coast. He seemed not to mind the crowds of people at first and he even crawled out onto the beach. about 5 seconds later he was swarmed by a crowd of screaming kids and adults taking photos, he got out of there pretty fast after that.

Usually they are black, brown, red, yellow, or white. My female had a bit of black and white to her. She was a reidi seahorse. :)

sharp because the seal has to cut into the fish

No, harp seals do not have the pinna that we associate with the outer (visible) part of the ear. This does not mean they cannot hear; they hear well under and above water, although their hearing is not as sensitive above water as a human's.

The animals that have blubber are: whales, seals, sea lions, elephant seals, walruses and 40% of Americans most aquatic and/or semi-aquatic animals.

Don't forget penguins, a lot of seabird chicks have a heavy blubber layer which is lost before fledging.

Most animals with blubber live in freezing and/or arctic climates.

They have blubber so that they don't freeze to death. They eat seafood. Adults have to swim fast so that they don't get killed and babies have white fur so that they can blend in with the snow.

Seals eat a variety of foods. Their diet consists of fish, like salmon, herring, flounder, and hake. They also eat mollusks, crustaceans, and squid.

about 1,000,000 miles per hr i think i need to no thogh

yes it can with the right food and water and proper care it is very likely to survive in captivity

Nothing! adults do not drink anything but babies nurse. Adults do not drink anything because they get that nutrition from their food.

Besides getting larger in size its social structure changes. It will leave the side of its mother and join a group of its own gender. It will stop nursing and start foraging for its self and use a rock placed on its stomach to break open some of its food. Its fur changes from blond downy fur to a more even darker coat. It will move out to deeper and rougher water. As it grows older its fur will get coarser as its guard hairs grow. The fur around its head and face will turn white and gray. If it is a female it may get scares on its nose from mating. If its a male it might get a broken penis bone from combat with other males. As it grows older it will lose some hearing and teeth. It is common for sea otters to starve to death because over the years of eating shellfish wears down their teeth and they are unable to eat.

Seal rock is a geological formation that possesses specific properties, including low permeability and high porosity, which make it effective in trapping hydrocarbons. It is typically composed of fine-grained sediments, such as shales or mudstones, that can prevent the migration of oil and gas. The source of seal rock often includes organic-rich materials deposited in marine environments, which, over geological time, have transformed into impermeable layers that serve as barriers in petroleum systems. These characteristics are crucial for creating reservoirs that can store significant amounts of hydrocarbons.

IT CAN FLY VERY FAST ON 20 meters at 10 degrees and a speed of 74 cm per second

Yes, Crustaceans are a part of a Seal's diet.

A species of sea lion (Hookers sea lion) lives in the subantarctic, but not in the Antarctic.

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.

The gender of seals are denoted as bull, cow and calf like cattle.

Yes a polar bear is an enemy of the elephant sea land the elephant seals are a food source for the bears.

They are called elephant seals because they have long noses like a regular elephant.

There are a few societies dedacated to saving the Harp Seals, like harpseals.org which is volentary, and it's goal is to permanantly end the annual Canadian Seal Hunt (which kills 95% of Harp Seals which are just days or weeks old) It informs you on how you can help. You can donate here. These donation help them... * Air their 30 second TV commercials. * Running print ads to promote the Canadian seafood boycott. * Displaying huge billboards on major arteries. * Running Radiocommercials. * Setting up information booths at festivals and fairs. * Printing and Distributing leaflets, flyers, and Action Cards for free to activists and many other ways you can help. http://www.hsus.org/protect_seals.html also allows you to sign a pledge, in which you put in a bit of details. http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=22126 is also a good one to go to, where you can sign a pledge and get regular updates. All have heart-breaking videos, which I'm sure would tug at any humane human's heart.

it is a mammal which lives in Antarctica. it is similar in shape to a seal and generally has the same diet, appearance and Physical traits as a seal
Sea lions are any of seven species in six genera of modern pinnipeds including one extinct (the Japanese sea lion). Sea lions are characterized by the presence of external ear pinnae or flaps, long front flippers, and the ability to walk on four flippers on land. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the northern and southern hemispheres with the notable exception of the Atlantic Ocean.
