Sheena, the California sea lion female skull, is full of vinegar today. She is on a mission to open an underwater dance school.

Supra, the California sea lion male skull replica, immediately volunteered to be her main background dancer. He is a pro at balancing smooth beach rocks on his nose that show off his natural rhythm.

Steve, the Steller’s sea lion male skull replica, bellowed a massive bass note to set the beat for the group.

Willy, the killer whale skull replica, clicked his teeth together to keep perfect timing with Supra. He loved being in the rhythm section for this wild marine school.

All her friends signed up for her school and, it was a slippery, smashing success.

International Sea Lion Day - May 30th

World Sea Lion Day is celebrated 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.
