From Wikipedia:
The Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea) is a species of sea lion that breeds only on the south coast of Australia. Today there are about 12,000 Australian Sea Lions following the introduction of the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1972 which prohibited a harvest that began in earnest as soon as Europeans colonised the continent.
The Australian Sea Lion inhabits the ocean around Australia, and nowhere else. They onl eat at sea, where they hunt fish, squid, and other sea creatures. They have front-flippers that allow them to propel quickly through water and be more agile on land by being able to walk on all four flippers. Bulls stay ashore defending pregnant female sea lions from predators (such as the great white shark)and other dangers until the females can fend for themselves. They normally maintain small female groups, usually containing 4-6 females and are very agressive towards one another. |
