What is the purpose of a sea lion’s long whiskers?
A Communicate
B Attract mates
C Help locate prey
Fact: Sea lions don’t just rely on eyesight to hunt—they use their super-sensitive whiskers to track fish by feeling vibrations in the water. Each whisker moves on its own, giving them a sense of what’s nearby and they never shed. It’s like having built-in sonar, perfect for finding prey in dark or murky seas.
Correct Answer: Help locate prey
