To find a tight seal!
Interesting Fact: When diving deep, California sea lions slow their heart rates to allow them to remain underwater for nearly ten minutes before surfacing to breathe. This ability gives them an edge in the pursuit of the fish, squid, and shellfish that make up their primary diet. ( http://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/c/california-sea-lion/ )

Interesting Fact: These pinnipeds live along the rocky Pacific Ocean coastlines of western North America.

Over the last weekend we visited New York Aquarium in Brooklyn. This fun loving California Sea Lion preformed quite a show. Brooklyn aquarium reopened recently, after recovering from last year’s storm. Although it’s not 100% functional, but it is fun way to spend a day.
