A general term for mammals belonging to the Otariidae family of the Pinnipedia suborder of the Carnivora order. In the strict sense, sea lions are a general term for the California sea lion Z alophus californianus californianus (illustration) and the Japanese sea lion Z. c . japonicus . Since the Japanese sea lion is already extinct, the California sea lion is often simply called sea lion.
