Bob Ernst collection of Miocene fossils from Sharktooth Hill, CA.
Fossil records place this extinct Allodesmus kelloggi mammal in middle to late Miocene deposits across California and Japan. Ancient ocean strata outline a geographical range spanning temperate coastal waters along the North Pacific Rim.
Fish, squid, and small marine organisms made up the diet of these large prehistoric carnivores.
Melanin distribution in fossilized skin structures suggests a dark brown or grayish fur color. Scientists estimate that this animal weighed about 800 pounds.

| 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. |
