The South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens, formerly Otaria byronia), also called the Southern Sea Lion and the Patagonian sea lion, is a sea lion found on the Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Chilean, Falkland Islands, Argentinean, Uruguayan, and Southern Brazilian coasts. It is the only member of the genus Otaria. Its scientific name was subject to controversy, with some taxonomists referring to it as Otaria flavescens and others referring to it as Otaria byronia. The former eventually won out, [3] although that may still be overturned. [4] Locally, it is known by several names, most commonly lobo marino (es) / lobo marinho (pt) (sea wolf) and león marino (es) / leão marinho (pt) (sea lion) and the hair seal.
