Steller's sea lion  (Eumetopias jubatus)

Steller's sea lions are found from the northern Californian coast, north to Alaska and across the Bering straits to the coasts of Russia and Japan (3). Recently, the species has undergone a worrying decline (especially in Alaska), and the United States population as a whole has declined by 75 percent since the mid to late 1970s (4).

Found in the cool waters of the northern Pacific Ocean, hauling out on beaches and rocky coastline (6).
