Galápagos sea lions are known for their nurturing and attentive behaviors towards their young. Female sea lions give birth to a single pup each year, typically on sandy beaches or rocky shores within the colony. Pups are born helpless and rely entirely on their mothers for nourishment and protection. Mother sea lions nurse their pups for several months, providing them with rich, fatty milk to support their rapid growth. During the nursing period, female sea lions demonstrate strong maternal instincts, staying close to their pups and defending them from potential threats such as predators or rival males.
