Nature has a unique way of working, then the humankind comes and ruins it all. The California Sea Lion is feeding off a species on the endangered species list, The Salmon. The Salmon attempts to travel upstream thru the Bonneville Dam where the Sea Lion awaits them. The Sea lion then eat them not allowing them to travel upstream becoming a greater problem for the already endangered species.

Steller sea lion pups possess thick rough coats with a mostly dark appearance. After the first molt, their color lightens. The complexion of female and male Steller sea lions is a golden-brown to a reddish brown. They have a somewhat darker shade in their chest and abdomen. Steller sea lions also display sexual dimorphism which means that the males are remarkably larger than females. Similar to all pinnipeds, the Steller sea lions have whiskers to sense prey. They also molt every year which parallels to other pinnipeds, and they are mainly insulated by blubber. In addition, they have flippers that are used for locomotion. Their sensory organs are accommodated to operate both underwater and in the air, but because they are mammals they have to come up to the surface in order to breathe.

The Poorly Informed Walrus is a fable that helps the reader understand the importance of effective communication. It starts out by the chief, asking the smaller walruses how the day catch was going. The smaller walruses did not want to reply because of their fear with the undesired amount. The chief “was the biggest and wisest walrus in the herd, and he knew his business, but he had such a terrible temper that every walrus in the herd was terrified of his ferocious bark”. (Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn, & Osborn, 2014) They also remembered how the chief acted the last time they had not done well and did not want him to know of the disappointment this time. After some deliberation, Basil who was next in charge answered by saying all was well and that

Lions have adapted a lot in there history from their ancestors the dormaalocyon latouri. They are evolutionarily successful in many aspects. Lions are great hunters and are able to run at fast speeds. They are much more bloodthirsty than their ancestors and more advanced. They live in prides and work together to survive. Even though they will fight and kill for dominance they still manage to be an evolutionary species.

Pinnipeds are living lives of misery as well. ‘Pinniped’ is another word for ‘fin-footed mammal’. Walruses, seals, and seal lions are all pinnipeds. Walruses have shown signs of psychological issues, and were seen regurgitating food. Not only that, but walruses have that have been kept at SeaWorld tend to suffer from blindness at a young age, and dying years prior to their natural life expectancy. These things are rarely, and almost never documented in the wild. Seals and sea lions are given no shade in their enclosures to protect them from the sun, which can result in stress, sunburn, and eye damage.

In Astoria, Oregon, invasive colonies of California Sea Lion have become overpopulated causing depleted populations of native fish, economical issues for the coastal city and they have caused immense damage to the docks. Due to the destructive nature of this invasive species on this ecosystem it becomes necessary to determine what is the most effective way of deterring California Sea Lions from colonizing on the Astoria docks and shoreline. If we relocate the California Sea Lions then, there will be a larger consistent decrease in the sea lion population than when scare tactics were previously used.

Out of all of the animals on Earth today, none of them can amount to being as fascinating and adorable as the Harp Seal. The Harp Seal is an aquatic mammal that is related to the Sea Lion and Walrus (¨Harp Seal¨). These seals live in the Northern Hemisphere inside and around the Arctic Sea, as well as in the North Atlantic Ocean (¨Harp Seal¨). There are many interesting facts about Harp Seals, ranging from reproduction, behaviours, appearance, and even their unique lifespan.

The summer after sixth grade, my family and I decided to go on a trip to San Francisco, California. We decided to go to California because for a few years I had wanted to go to San Francisco’s Pier 39. In Pier 39, there were wooden wharf’s that float in the water. They had chains that connected them to the main pier so they wouldn’t float away. Sea lions and seals are free to come and go as they please and to sun-bathe on the wharf. There were mostly sea lions that rested there but some seals. I had wanted to go to Pier 39 because, since I was little I had loved fat or fluffy animals. When I had heard that sea lions were able to weigh almost one-thousand pounds, I got obsessed with them.

Despite having “whale in its name, the false killer whale is actually a large dolphin like its namesake “the killer whale”. The difference between a “whale” and a “dolphin” is much like the difference between a “ship” and a “boat”. It has more to do with size than science. In fact, false killer whales are large dolphins.

Majestic, noble, and brave, this famous iconic wild animal on the planet has captivated the people since the beginning of time. They are most feared by other animals thus, known as the king of the jungle – no other than the lions. Member of the genus Panthera, the lion is one of the big cats in the Felidae family. A lion’s head and body size average about 4.5 to 6.5 feet and tail of about 26 to 40 inches in length. A lion also weighs about 265 up to 420 pounds and a size relative to a 6-foot human. These mammals are also carnivores. Lions have always seen hunting in groups called pride. While lions generally avoid a full-grown elephant, lions still prefer their preys large like the zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes. Poised as the top animal in the ecological pyramid, lions have strong physical qualities, fascinating reputation, and an unfortunate decreasing number of population.

I will never forget watching the winning touchdown pass from the stands, that won the Dolphins their first and only game in 2007, I was screaming as excitement stemmed through me that day. The 2007 season was one of the worst for the Miami Dolphins; however, in 1972 the Dolphins made history with a perfect season and a perfect finish. I’m going to compare both teams coaches, key players, Superbowl wins, and win loss record. Although with different circumstances between the 1972 Dolphins and present teams, they deserve more recognition and regard from football fans across the country.

Steller sea lions (Eumetiopias jubatus) are the only member of Eumetiopias and are one of the biggest of the eared seals. Steller sea lions feed mainly on fish, and sometimes even various types of shellfish. Many Steller sea lions can be found along the coast of Western Alaska. Generally, Western Alaska has relatively warm summers, cold winters, and mild temperatures during the spring and fall, with the highest amounts of rainfall during the summertime. Steller sea lions have recently come under the scope of many researchers because of their sudden and significant decline of population in recent times. In some places such as the Aleutian Islands, which is an island chain found in the Western part of Alaska, the population of Steller sea lions

In the film we watched how scientists are trying to explain the mystery involves in the declining number of ocean lion. The scientists in Alaska are making some investigations; they already have set down some hypothesis for the disappearances of ocean lion. Their hypothesis state that the cause of the declining in number of the ocean lion can be caused by their food, the oil spill, or diseases. In this experiment, they are searching to identify the factors that are causing the premature dead of these young animals. They said because there is not body to study is hard to know what is happening to the ocean lions. For this reason, the scientists are taking some ocean lions from their natural habitat and are testing their DNA to identify any
