August 1, 2024: Houston, Texas, USA: Temperatures are soaring in the heart of Texas, but Houston Zoo’s animals are staying cool and comfortable this summer season. California sea lions are enjoying their habitat’s pool. The water in the 372,000-gallon pool is kept at 60 degrees allowing the pinnipeds to exercise a natural behavior called ‘porpoising’ where guests can see them leap high out of the water and dive back in headfirst. Sea lions can reach bursts up to 25 mph, a behavior and speed critical to catching fish and escaping predators in the wild. (Credit Image: © Cover Images via ZUMA Press)
