Steller sea lion, also known as Steller’s sea lion, and northern sea lion, are native to the northern Pacific. Marine habitats span an extensive northern range along the coastal waters of Alaska and surrounding Pacific territories.

Walleye, Atka mackerel, halibut, herring, capelin, flatfish, Pacific cod, rockfish, sculpins, salmon, sand lance, squid, and octopus make up the main diet.

Adults have lighter colors than most sea lions, ranging from pale yellow to tawny or occasionally reddish tones. Pups start life almost black and remain dark in coloration for several months after birth.

Massive males have much wider chests, necks, broader foreheads, flatter snouts, and a thick, shaggy mane that reaches their shoulders. Big bulls reach weights between 990 and 2470 pounds. Females weigh 530 to 770 pounds.

Significant and largely unexplained population declines across Alaska have attracted considerable attention in recent decades.

Sweetie, the Steller’s sea lion female skull replica, loves horses. She thinks everyone should as well, so she has rounded up some bomb-proof horses, Lu, Bonnie, and Star for her friends to learn to ride.

Steve, the Steller’s sea lion male skull replica, fell in love with Lu’s beautiful kind brown eyes, and blue roan coat.

Willy, the killer whale skull replica, hopped on Star’s back and took off across the sandy beach screaming yahoo.

Wyatt, the walrus male skull replica, wants a wild ride, so he decided to race Bonnie, the flashy black and white paint mare across the beach and up to the tippy top of the steep coastal cliff.

It was a day any cowboy or cowgirl would have had a blast riding on the beach.
