The Sea Lion Exhibit, the first of its kind in North America,open on June 30, allowing visitors to experience ‘nose-to-nose’ interactions with 11 California sea lions as they swim around them.This was a amazing and wonderful as I do not live near a ocean it sure felt like it. They get up so close. You get to watch them eat their fish as well. Just amazing time I had. This one just posed for me. Its features tell it all. Very happy about this new renovation :) I am too!!


There are actually seven species of Sea Lions in the world, but people tend to lump them all into one category. They all belong to a group of animals known as pinnipeds.

Sea Lions are very interesting animals that can end up being extremely large. The males are much bigger than the females which helps them to gain the ability to mate with them because the females will look for the largest males out there to be with.
Sea Lions are considered to be highly intelligent animals. They have been used to teach tricks to for entertainment. They have also been trained to help the United States Navy with their in water needs. For the most part they are considered to be very timid but there have been some reports of aggressive attacks on humans. The males are extremely aggressive when it comes to earning the right to mate with females.
