Millions of years ago, the extinct pinniped Allodesmus thrived in the temperate waters of the North Pacific.
These ancient sea lions reached lengths of eight feet and possessed very sharp teeth for hunting fish. Their large eye sockets suggest they were expert deep-sea divers, capable of finding prey in low-light conditions.
This massive fossil panel captures the entire skeletal structure of a bull specimen in its original discovery pose. It provides a stunning window into the prehistoric marine life of California.

| World Sea Lion Day - May 30th | World Sea Lion Day is on May 30th. Together with fur seals, sea lions belong to the family Otariidae, characterized by external ear flaps. They are principally found in large colonies on rocky and sandy shores in Pacific waters. The largest kind is the Steller's sea lion, which can weigh up to 1,000 kg! As they rely on water to feed and cool off, sea lions are vulnerable to the effects of climate change and ocean currents, affecting prey abundance. Besides, they are also victims of bycatch in fisheries. As a result, three species are considered endangered: the Australian sea lion, Galápagos sea lion, and New Zealand sea lion. |
