Sunny Ashcroft recorded the behaviour of 10 sea lions from noon to 1 pm during a field exercise at Race Rocks. The report describes a mixed group and records resting, grooming and movement on the rocks. The 10 animals were the observation sample, not a reserve-wide census.

About this record

Supporting evidence
https://racerocks.ca/ethology-laboratory-sample-write-up/ — The body explicitly dates the observation to 15 September 2000, noon–1 pm; the report and webpage have later dates. The source inconsistently describes the two species, so the structured species is unset.
Identification confidence

Source wording, attributed names and approximate date labels are preserved. A published report does not establish a verified animal identity.
