The Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) inhabits northern Pacific coasts from California to Japan, and are the largest of all sea lions. These giant pinnipeds hunt fish, squid, octopus and, rarely, smaller seals. Most Steller sea lion populations declined markedly in the 1980s and 1990s, even though the animals are protected. They have attracted considerable attention in recent decades due to significant, unexplained declines in their numbers over a large portion of their range in Alaska.
