SeaWorld sea lions

[TheAmurTiger]

I have been tracking California sea lions at SeaWorld Orlando for a few days now. I have found some names, and a few dates of birth (only OJ, Fable, Mario, Radley, and Finch), but I want to know the others. I know of 24 females whom I cannot find the names of (I know about Taffy, Topaz, Noelle, and Wimbly), and 19 males I cannot find the names of. I am also unclear on the background and status of Clark and Mario, who are said to have been born in Orlando, but either he has died or one of the males was captured in 2008 with Leon. Many other questions, sorry. Where did Rocco go, he disappeared from the Marine Mammal Inventory Report some time in 2015. I would also like to know the parents, as none of the named animals have known relatives, but all except Leon, OJ, and possibly Clark or Mario were born at SeaWorld parks. Thank you.

I think a keeper at the Brookfield Zoo is the California Sea Lion stud book keeper and SSP coordinator. I don't know if the stud book is published or not, but it should have the info you need if you can get ahold of it.

Studbook

Unfortunately, the Studbook has not been published. I have found new information since, however. I've identified two animals - Coffee and Cha Cha. I have also found that Leon is in Texas, and some of the males' names from the preshow at Sea Lion High. From what I know, there are 8 male California sea lions at Sea Lion and Otter Stadium, 8 animals at Pacific Point Preserve that I know the names of, and many other unknown animals. Still searching for some information on them, such as how old Taffy, Wimbly, Noelle, Coffee, Topaz, Cha Cha, Rewind, Otis, Miles, and Basil are. It seems SeaWorld is rather secretive on the naming of their sea lions unless the animal has moved to another location .
