Known for their intelligence and sociability, these creatures are often spotted lounging on docks and buoys or performing acrobatic tricks in the water. They are an integral part of marine ecosystems, feeding on a variety of fish and squid and occasionally becoming prey for orcas and great white sharks. Their barking calls are a familiar sound in coastal communities, where they play a significant role in marine tourism and education.
