Female Sea Lions are pregnant when they come to shore to mate again. They will become part of a harem with a male that protects them. They will give birth and then mate again for the next season within a couple weeks. The gestation period for a female to carry a pup is 11 months. The pups are born on land and can weigh up to 50 pounds at birth. They can be 200 pounds and six feet long by the time they are a year old.
