Australian sea lions like this female photographed at @タロンガ動物園 are social creatures and are usually found in a very large colonies on the beaches of the Southern and Western Australia. Females in these colonies often feed and care for one another’s offspring and have even been known to adopt pups whose mothers have died. However, male Australian sea lions can be extremely aggressive and females will resolutely defend the pups of their colony from them as well as other predators.
Currently, Australian sea lions are listed as Endangered on the #IUCN Red List and are fully protected within Australia, but sadly they are still victimized by unsustainable fisheries. Their food supply is depleted by overfishing and they often become entangled in fishing nets, which leads to drowning. You can help save the Australian sea lion and other marine life by researching where your seafood comes from and then making local, sustainable choices.
