Description
420 sea lion skulls hang on the walls of the California Academy of Sciences. They represent a fraction of the Academy's collection, and together, they provide insights in the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) population and ocean conditions.
About 75% of the skulls are adult males. The remaining skulls are from smaller females or juvenile males - except for a few skulls of unrelated animals that Academy scientists randomly placed in the group.
