From the point of view of feeding habits, sea lions belong to a carnivore, they can use many kinds of animals as their own food. Wild sea lions live in the ocean and spend most of their time in the water. They will catch many animals in the ocean for their food. The most common food they eat is fish, and all kinds of fish may become their prey. Sea lions swim faster and have sharp teeth, which can play an important role in their hunting. In addition to fish, cephalopods such as krill, clams, jellyfish and squid may become their food.
Some sea lions live in aquariums, and the diet of sea lions here is also mainly fish. Sea lions eat a lot of food, and because of their size, they can swallow very large fish in one bite. In addition, they can also eat cephalopod food, such as squid.
The distribution of sea lions is relatively wide, and sometimes there are sea lions in the places where penguins live. Penguins may also become food for sea lions, but sea lions do not like the taste of penguins, so they do not often eat them. Sea lions don't eat penguins when other food is available. The sea lion will only eat if it is very hungry and cannot find any other food. Because they don't like penguin meat very much, they don't chew it carefully when they eat penguins, but swallow it directly. Sometimes they catch penguins just taking the fish out of their stomachs and eating them themselves, not directly eating penguins.
