Behavior
All species of Sea Lions are very social, but the California Sea Lions seem to be even more so. They can become a very noisy group with such large numbers of them hanging out in one location. They will pack in close together even though they have plenty of other room to spread out if they wanted to.
They are known to be the most intelligent of all Sea Lions in the world. This why they are the ones trained for entertainment as well as for the needs of the United States Navy. They are often called upon to help with tasks that have to be completed under the water.
They are very flexible due to the design of their bodies. If you are watching California Sea Lions you may be able to watch them bend over so far that their noses touch the tip of the back flippers. This is an amazing thing to watch if you get the chance.
Conservation
Even though the California Sea Lion isn’t considered to be in danger at this time, there are efforts in place to protect them. California laws are in place to try to reduce the number of them that are injured or killed in boating accidents. They also strive to keep the waters clean and to make sure humans aren’t intentionally harming them.
