Irish Name: Leon farraige California
IUCN Status: Least Concern
California sea lions are marine mammals that have streamlined bodies and large, powerful flippers. Males are dark brown, while females and young are tan in colour. They spend time in the water and on land. Their flippers can rotate under their bodies to allow them to ‘walk’ on land. California sea lions are excellent swimmers and can swim at a speed of up to 40 km/h.
