Sea lion (disambiguation)

A sea lion is an aquatic mammal generally found in shallow waters. Known as one of the most playful, intelligent, and social animals, sea lions are members of the family Otariidae and live in many coastal regions around the world. They possess unique adaptations, such as large, rotatable flippers that allow them to move efficiently both on land and in water, and they can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour underwater. Sea lions are opportunistic feeders, adjusting their diet based on prey availability and using advanced hunting strategies.
