Our Animal Family

Common Name: California Sea Lion

Scientific Name: Zalophus californianus

Birth Date: July 13, 2004

Defining Trait: Large

My Story: Clyde is the calm, confident gentleman of the sea lion lagoon, a big-hearted, intelligent, and loving presence. Despite being blind, he moves through his world with strength, grace, and a gentle charm that draws everyone in. He loves playful games with his trainers and enjoys showing off his cleverness and calm confidence. Born with a heart as big as his frame, Clyde is a sea lion who inspires love and admiration wherever he goes.

Out of an abundance of caution, our newest animal family members are currently unviewable while they complete a 30-day quarantine. This time allows them to settle in comfortably and helps keep both them and our other animals safe. We are so excited for you to see our family when they become viewable!

Our Mission - Through education, research and rescue, Dolphin Research Center promotes peaceful coexistence, cooperation and communication between marine mammals, humans and the environment we share with the well being of DRC's animals taking precedence.
