What do sea lions eat and how much do they eat?

Answer #1

Sea lions eat fish…lots and lots of fish.

California sea lions (the type closest to where I live) eat on average nearly 4,000 pounds of food per year…that’s for female sea lions. Male california sea lions eat nearly 9,000 pounds of food per year.

They also eat squid & sometimes clams, but mostly fish.
