I thought western painted and western pond turtles are the same species.

I have checked, and I'm almost positive that they are different species.

What happened to the Steller's sea lions? Is the cove named for them now exclusively for seals or is that a temporary situation?

 

[Ituri]

It appears they would like the absence of Steller Sea Lions to be temporary.

Before bringing any new residents to Steller Cove, zoo officials decided to update the habitat over the summer, recoating the pools to protect against the effects of a saltwater environment. Cutting expects the zoo will again house Steller sea lions in the future, this time in a mixed-species environment with the harbor seals.
