Summary

[edit]
Description

What do you call a group of sea lions? It depends on where they are! When sea lions gather on land (like these Steller sea lions in Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary) they're called a colony, a group of them in the water is a raft, during breeding seasons they're known as a rookery, and when several females assemble in a male's territory it's called a harem. Who knew the social lives of sea lions could be so complex?
