Zalophus californianus
This species was not censused. The females continue to abort foetuses.
Sixteen of the premature (aborted) animals were found. All were in natal
pelage; during the March visit the aborted animals were not yet furred. I
assume this to be an abnormal situation, but can offer no explanation for
the occurrence.
