Sea lions are very vocal as well. Take a few minutes at Sea Lion Point to hear the raucous vocalizations. These animals prefer to stay offshore and are most often seen hauled out on coastal islands. A male Steller sea lion is three times heavier than a California sea lion. Fully grown males reach average lengths of 10 feet and weigh as much as 2,200 pounds.
Females are about one-third the size of males and can measure eight feet long.
The shorelines and rocks of Moss Cove, Whalers Cove, Blue Fish Cove, Headland Cove, and Bird Island are areas where this spotted harbor seal can be found hauled out and resting. Harbor seal fur varies in color from light gray to nearly black. Males and females reach weights of 250 pounds and lengths of 6 feet. Harbor seals, like sea lions, have evolved to utilize a layer of fat called blubber. Blubber is used for warmth and as a source of energy when fasting.
