Meet Lina
Dolphin Research Center
Common Name: California Sea Lion
Scientific Name: Zalophus californianus
Parents: Unknown
Birth Date: Estimated birth 2009
Defining Trait: Petite & small for her age/big brown eyes
My Story: Lina, thin and begging from people, was rescued multiple times on the beaches of California. After four attempted releases, it was decided that she needed to be placed up for adoption and DRC became her forever home! Lina is a strong willed, bright little girl, full of personality! She is eager to learn, yet lacks patience, so her training sessions are often short and sweet. She is the smallest of our sea lions, but don’t tell her that!
Nicknames: Lina-Bean, Beaner
