Question
I know it sounds like a joke, but blame English for having some weird collective nouns for animals. But when it comes to sea lions, things get location-specific. These marine mammals form different types of groups depending on whether they're lounging on the beach or swimming in the surf. What do you call a group of sea lions when they're bobbing around in the water?
▼
Correct Answer: A raft
(Source)Sea lions float together in rafts consisting of five to 20 individuals who stick close together. It's a safety measure against great white sharks and killer whales looking for their next snack. But the moment these same animals drag their blubbery selves onto dry land, they magically transform into a "colony."
