Reproduction
Reproduction for the Japanese Sea Lions took place both on sandy beaches and sometimes in rocky areas.
Conservation
Unfortunately the conservation efforts for the Japanese Sea Lion came too late to help them to survive. However, the information collected definitely has helped with the efforts for making sure the remaining species of Sea Lions do survive. Some of them are still vulnerable but hopefully with the continued efforts and education they will be able to increase their numbers.
A huge effort was made in 2007 to search for any remaining Japanese Sea Lions. Some researchers thought they had seen some and that was exciting news. However, they turned out to be California Sea Lions. There are talks of moving some of these species into the habitat that the Japanese Sea Lions once called their own.
However, before various governments will agree to this they want to find out more about why the Japanese Sea Lions weren’t able to survive. They are afraid that the same problems can affect these newly introduced species if that information isn’t fully known first.
