Description

The California sea lion can swim at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. Its speed helps it escape from predators such as sharks and killer whales. Sea lions are not just fast; they’re also smart and playful. They can even learn to perform tricks at zoos and aquariums! These are some of the fascinating facts kids will discover as they learn all about these swift marine mammals. Eye-popping photos and clear, easy-to-read text will engage emergent readers as they discover the anatomical features that help California sea lions reach fast speeds. A "Speed-o-Meter" graphic compares the sea lion’s top speed to that of other animals.
