They are fairly independent, usually grouping with the rest of the pups in the warmer water, until they are large enough to survive on their own.

So the females can choose. Unfortunately, the female is later left alone, the whole effort of raising the offspring falls on her.

Crabs and shrimps did not appear until the Jurassic (201 - 145 million years ago) and lobsters appeared in the Cretaceous (145 - 66 million years ago).

In rivers they find shrimp, crayfish, annelids, and insect larvae. They hunt by catching floating specimens or by digging in the bottom of the water body.
