Sea Lions in the Navy (America's Animal Soldiers) Because sea lions are smart and able to swim fast, dive deep, and fit thro Gremlin dove deep into the water and quickly found what he was looking for: a sea mine on the ocean floor. Because sea lions are smart and able to swim fast, dive deep, and fit through narrow spaces, they can locate mines and capture enemies underwater more quickly than humans or machines can. “Both dolphins and sea lions have excellent low light vision and underwater directional hearing that allow them to detect and track undersea targets, even in dark or murky waters. The book irritated me a bit when it pointed out that sea lions face more danger in the wild than they do working for the US military (the tone is something along the lines of "yes, we are forcing animals to work for us, but it is a better life than living in the wild, risking being eaten by sharks.") The author even describes how sea lions are trained to perform these actions and discusses the concern some humans had about how they were treat.Filled with large, interesting photographs and easy to read text, this short book is a good introduction to how some trained sea lions aid humans.

Back matter includes a glossary, and index, and more information on these amazing creatures.This was such an interesting look into the life of some unexpected military heroes: sea lions and dolphins. The book also provided information about internships the navy has in their marine mammal programs, which would be very cool to read about if you were a child reading this book, dreaming about a career working with animals. This is particularly important for locating mines, likely one of the dolphin’s primary tasks.Both species can easily outperform even the best human divers in the world. They explain that although the animals they use have extremely good hearing and eyesight, it is next to impossible to train them to discern between friendly and enemy ships and impossible to tell the difference between divers they should attack, and divers they should leave alone.The Marine Mammal Program is not exclusively the domain of the United States however—Russia, too, has a similar program—that has been spotted near in the Middle East.Earlier this month, the naval expert H I Sutton uncovered evidence that Russia too is using marine animals at their port in.Though speculative, it has been suggested that the mammals there are used for protecting Russia ships at the port from sabotage by enemy divers, and could additionally be trained for locating and marking naval mines, as well as performing intelligence missions.Russia also trains Beluga whales.
