As opposed to having a group of females, male seal lions fight over having an area which females inhabit. This means the larger and stronger seals can have vast areas of territory to protect.

They are incredibly social and curious animals, often waddling up to things they find interesting, such as playing with sticks, chewing shoes, or chasing other animals like crabs and iguanas.

They have a close bond with their parents, with sea lion pups being reliant on their mother for one out of the twenty years.
