California sea lions feed on a number of species of fish and squid, and are preyed on by <a href="/wiki/Orca" title="Orca">orcas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Great_white_shark" title="Great white shark">great white sharks</a>. </p><p>California sea lions have a <a href="/wiki/Polygyny_in_animals" title="Polygyny in animals">polygynous</a> breeding pattern.

Females are free to move in between territories, and are not coerced by males. Mothers nurse their pups in between foraging trips.

A male California sea lion usually keeps his territory for around 27 days.

Since temperatures can reach over 30 °C (86 °F) during this time, males must include water within their territories.

The barks of territorial and non-territorial males sound similar, although those of the former are deeper. Males may bark when threatening other males or during courtship. The only other vocalization made by territorial males is a "prolonged hoarse grunt sound" made when an individual is startled by a human.
