[edit]- 2009, John K. Ling, Australian Sea Lion, Neophoca cinerea, in the Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals →ISBN:
- The endemic Australian sea lion is one of the world's rarest and most unusual seals: rare in terms of very small numbers and unusual in its having a sesquiennial reproductive cycle.
Wikipedia says "These pinnipeds are specifically known for their abnormal breeding cycles, which are varied between 5 months breeding cycle and a 17-18 month aseasonal breeding cycle, compared to other pinnipeds which fit into a 12 month reproductive cycle." (In other words, one and a half years.) - -sche (discuss) 21:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
