The Galapagos Sea Lion is very large, with the males being about 900 pounds when they are full grown. The females average about 244 pounds at maturity. Both of them feature very thick necks but the males also have a thickness in the chest and shoulder regions as well. Females tend to be longer and more slender in form than the males. The males also have a crest that forms on the top of their heads. One physical characteristic that is different from other species is their long pointy nose.
Distribution
You will only find the Galapagos Sea Lion in two places. They are the Galapagos Islands and Isla de la Plata.
