Description

Stellers are highly social. They feast on the abundant fisheries with the males growing up to be as large as 1,100kg, females about 360kg. They live along the coasts of the North Pacific, from northern Japan through Alaska and south to central California, and feed mainly at night on more than a hundred species of fish, plus squid and octopus. Canada lists them as a Species of Special Concern.
