This stock photo shows a rowdy group of Steller Sea Lions (Eumetopias jubatus), also known as Steller's sea lion, and Northern sea lion, hauled out and acting up on a large rock slab in the Broughton Archipelago near Fife off the northern British Columbia coast in Canada. The range of the Steller sea lion extends from the Kuril Islands and the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia to the Gulf of Alaska in the north, and down to Año Nuevo Island off central California. Steller sea lions are skilled and opportunistic marine predators feeding on a wide range of fish and cephalopod species. Very occasionally, they have been known to predate on Northern fur seal, harbor seal and sea otter pups. They are near the top of the marine food chain but are susceptible to predation by orcas.
