Sea Lion

Sea Lions are animals that appear in The Lion King fanfictions.
== Information ==
Australian sea lions are sexually dimorphic and have two body forms. Males are larger and weigh more than the females. Both have stocky bodies, large heads, and small flippers, and apart from size, the males and females are distinguished by their coat colors. While males are dark brown with yellow areas on the head and neck, females range from being silver-gray to fawn in color on the top and cream on the bottom. Pups are born with chocolate-brown fur that is lost after the first molting phase.
Australian sea lions live in sandy beaches, preferably in isolated bays and sheltered areas; one notable location is on Kangaroo Island in south Australia. The species is endemic to Australian waters and can be found in over fifty islands off the coasts of southern and western Australia.
While their diet is not well known, Australian sea lions consume fish and invertebrates such as octupus and squid, and it has been suggested that they will also eat penguins.
Pups are usually born between January and June after a year-long gestation period, though morality rate is high. Mothers will give birth to one pup and not breed again for a few years. Australian sea lions do not form breeding harems, but males will guard females and then mate with them.
The sea lion is protected by the Australian government and is listed as rare by the IUCN. Numbers are relatively small compared to other seals in the area, likely in part due to the species suffering during the 19th century sealing period, where numerous colonies were wiped out.
