Description

When: July 9, 2022

Where: Natura ARTIS Magistra Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Alas, the whole family was asleep, and we only got this rather small glimpse of the young pup. But there certainly is something very cute about a sleeping Sea Lion

Species: Californian Sea Lion (Californische zeeleeuw)

Latin name: Zalophus Californianus

Originates from North America.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…Californian Sea Lions are trained by the US Navy for certain military operations.

…The latin name of this coastal, eared seal means “intensive crest”, due to the males’ protruding lump on the head.
