Behavior
One of the behaviors of South America Sea Lions that is different from other species is how they gather. While most are very close together they do space out. It is believed the hotter temperatures in their natural habitat is the main reason why they do so. Otherwise they seem to have the same types of behaviors with socializing and vocalizing as the other species.
Diet /Feeding
These Sea Lions feed on the various types of fish that are found in this area. Their main diet is anchovies and hake. They are also very fond of both squid and octopus. When these items are scarce they may consume small penguins in the area as well. They tend to hunt within five miles of the shore but they will go further out if necessary in order to fine enough food.
