Today’s species: the Australian sea lion!

The Australian sea lion ([i]Neophoca cinerea[/i]) is a pinniped endemic to Australia, classified as endangered. Historically, they were hunted for their fur, and their population is continuing to decline due to their complex breeding cycle. Females only breed where they were born, and the cycles occur only once every eighteen years. Like the vaquita, they are also accidentally caught in gillnets. Individuals can recognize each other through visual, auditory, and olfactory means. They can walk on land with their flippers, and are carnivores that feed on anything from squid and rock lobster to penguins and sharks.

The African Wild Dog, or painted wolf ([i]Lycaon pictus[/i]) is an endangered canid. They are native to Africa, but while they formally spanned all of sub-Saharan Africa, they are now primarily confined to the southern and eastern areas. They are estimated around 6,600 individuals in scattered populations. They are threatened by habitat fragmentation, accidental capture in snares, and disease. They live in packs, which are dominated by an alpha pair. The alpha female selects the alpha male, and, as she is the only female who breeds, the whole pack takes care of her pups. They have very large litters, averaging ten but reaching up to sixteen. Unusual among canids, they lack a dewclaw. They have one of the highest success rates of all carnivores, around 80-90 percent. To compare, a successful gray wolf pack averages about 20 percent.
