The North American fur sea lion (Arctocephalus townsendi) is the only sea lion living in the Northern Hemisphere. Due to excessive hunting at the end of the 19th century, only a few dozen were left, and by the 1990s, the number had recovered to about 10,000.
The North American fur sea lion feeds on fish and other animals. It is a social animal. Each group of sea lions consists of one male and multiple females, and the organization is relatively loose. June is the gestation period of North American fur sea lions.
