The noisy, gregarious animals on the rocks offshore from Sea Lion Point are California sea lions. These dark brown colored marine mammals move around fairly well on land, by using all four flippers to push themselves along. Adult males can be over eight feet long and weigh up to 800 pounds. Most adult males leave the Reserve in June and July to join breeding age females in rookeries extending from the Channel Islands south to Mexico, returning to Point Lobos in late summer.
