"The California Sea Lion is a coastal sea lion of western North America. They are quite intelligent, can adapt to man-made environments, and even adult males can be easily trained. Because of this, California sea lions are commonly used for enter-tainment in circuses, zoos and marine parks...
This is the classic circus 'seal,' despite the fact
that it is not a true seal."
