Class: Mammalia (all mammals) Order: Carnivora(carnivores) Family: Otariidae(fur seals and sea lions) Genus: Zalophus (Pacific sea lions) Species: californianus (California sea lions) Distribution Where in the world does this species live? California sea lions are found along the west coast of North America from British Columbia to Baja California and in the Galapagos Islands, the Sea of Cortez and the Gulf of Alaska. Habitat What kinds of areas does this species live in? They live along the coast and off-shore islands. They have been found up to 75 miles out in the ocean. They may also travel up rivers that feed into the ocean. Physical Description How would this animal’s body shape and size be described? • On average, California sea lions are 5-7 feet long. • Males can grow to weigh over 800 pounds (390 kg). Females are significantly smaller growing to only around 220 pounds (100 kg) • California sea lions have a torpedo-shaped body with short dark brown to light brown fur. • By the age of five, males develop a distinct bump, called the sagittal crest, on the top of their heads and lighter brown to tan fur giving the appearance of a mane. • Sea lions look quite different than seals. Sea lions are solid in color and are quite mobile on land, using their larger front flippers to maneuver.

    Sea Lions of the World 455 Alaska Sea Grant College Program • AK-SG-06-01, 2006 Conservation Management Issues and Status of the New Zealand (Phocarctos hookeri) and Australian (Neophoca cinerea) Sea Lion R.A. Campbell Department of Fisheries, Western Australia, North Beach, Australia B.L. Chilvers and S. Childerhouse Department of Conservation, Marine Conservation Unit, Wellington, New Zealand N.J. Gales Australian Antarctic Division, Hobart, Australia Abstract The two antipodean sea lion species are the rarest sea lions in the world. They are relatively similar in abundance and share common conservation management concerns. Recovery from commercial sealing in the eigh- teenth to twentieth centuries and ongoing interactions with commercial fishing activities are primary concerns. However, there are marked differ- ences in distribution (number of breeding colonies) and life history traits, in particular the variation in breeding cycles and population genetic structure. These factors must be taken into consideration in address- ing management concerns and are reflected in the current management actions being taken for both species in regard to interactions with com- mercial fishing activities. Introduction Conservation management of sea lions has been focused on the plight of the Steller sea lion, in light of the precipitous decline in abundance over the last 30 years (Loughlin 1998). Similar issues of incidental bycatch, 456 Campbell et al.—New Zealand and Australian Sea Lion direct harvesting, and resource competition are relevant for all species, including the Australian (Neophoca cinerea) and New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri). These two species, while similar in abundance, dif- fer markedly in aspects of biology and the issues confronting them.

  • Heraldry in Game of Thrones
    genealogy Article The Shields that Guard the Realms of Men: Heraldry in Game of Thrones Mat Hardy School of Humanities & Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts & Education, Deakin University, Burwood 3125, Australia; [email protected] Received: 12 October 2018; Accepted: 6 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: The vast popularity of the Game of Thrones franchise has drawn a new and diverse audience to the fantasy genre. Within the pseudo-medieval world created by G.R.R. Martin, a great deal of detail has gone into establishing coats of arms for the characters and families that are depicted. These arms fulfill an extremely important role, both within the arc of the story and as part of the marketing collateral of this very successful series. This article examines the role of arms in the Game of Thrones universe and explores how the heraldic system transcends the usual genealogical display and functions more as a type of familial branding. An exploration of some of the practices and idiosyncrasies of heraldry in the franchise shows that whilst Martin sets his foundation firmly in the traditional, he then extends this into the fanciful; in much the same manner as he does with other faux-historical aspects of his work. This study is valuable because Game of Thrones has brought heraldry from being a niche interest to something that is now consumed by a global audience of hundreds of millions of people. Several of the fantasy blazons in the series are now arguably the most recognisable coats of arms in history. Keywords: Game of Thrones; A Song of Ice and Fire; heraldry; blazonry; fantasy; G.R.R.

  • Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms the Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Glossary Tinctures
    Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms The Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Heraldic Arms - a pattern of colors and objects – were first created in order to identify knights on the battlefield, whose identities would otherwise have been concealed by their armor & helm. Originally, each knight would have different heraldry, so you could tell which individual you were looking at. So, the heraldry that a knight used was a description of who he was: brave, rich, loyal, etc. Only later did individual heraldic arms become associated with a family which was passed down from one generation to the next. At TSC, we create heraldic arms that says who we are as individuals, just like the original knights. And just like the original knights, every one of our heraldries must be different. So, when you have a design, it must be approved to make sure that no other knight already has heraldry that is the same (or very close) to yours. This guide will tell you about how heraldry is created: the colors, patterns, and some rules. If you do further reading, you will find more patterns and many, many more rules. Don't worry about them! (Unless you want to.) Over it's 900 year history, heraldry has become extremely complex. We just need to worry about the basics, which are more in keeping with what the early knights would have used. Glossary • Blazon – A written description of a heraldic arms . It uses medieval French to "paint a picture" with words. If you know how to understand a Blazon, you can picture it in your head.
