Females, on the other hand, are about a third smaller than males and do not have the crest. Also, females are of a lighter brown color than males.
- Younglings: Sea lions that are one to three years old may look like females because of their lighter color and their smaller size, identifying without getting mixed up, can get complicated. But hey, it’s a start!
- Calves: These are unmistakable for their small size, which is around 20-30 inches, and for their location. You’ll always find them not far from the shore, as they’re not very good swimmers just yet.
