Juvenile Predation Increasing Risks of Extinction

Summary: Due to Orca Whales eating juvenile Steller Sea Lions, repopulating is nearly impossible for the Steller Sea Lions. In the past four decades Steller Sea Lions population has decreased 80%. If the juvenile females do not grow to adults we can kiss the Steller Sea Lions goodbye.

Impact: There isn't really anything humans can do except shelter the sea lions and hope they don't go extinct.

Critique: I don't want the sea lions to go away but if that's how nature is going to be, so be it.
