Description
From late August to early June, visitors to the Newport, Oregon bay front will regularly see adult and juvenile male California Sea Lions resting on the docks. Female Sea Lions stay in California waters year round. During the summer months, male Sea Lions migrate south to join the females for the breeding season.
Male Sea Lions grow to a length of eight feet and weigh up to 1,000 pounds. Female Sea Lions only grow to a length of six feet and 250 pounds. Feeding on a variety of fish, squid, and octopus, an adult Sea Lion will eat around 7 percent of his body weight every day.
California Sea Lions, like all marine mammals, are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Therefore, I would like to clearly state that no Sea Lions nor electrons were harmed in the making of this photograph.
I am told that during the spring storms of 2023 this rock protrusion has been reclaimed by the Pacific Ocean...
Ordered photographs will not contain the FAA watermark.
