It is interesting that the pounds are twice the kilograms for the females. Which is the correct measured value and which is the afterthought?
But it is good to see that most of the metric is sensibly rounded. Description California sea lions are known for their intelligence, playfulness, and noisy barking. Their color ranges from chocolate brown in males to a lighter, golden brown in females. Males reach 850 pounds (390 kg) and seven feet (2.1 m) in length. Females grow to 220 pounds (110 kg) and up to six feet (1.8 m) in length. They have a "dog-like" face, and at around five years of age, males develop a bony bump on top of their skull called a sagittal crest. The top of a male's head often gets lighter in color with age. These members of the otariid or walking seal family have external ear flaps and large flippers that they use to "walk" on land. The trained "seals" in zoos and aquariums are usually California sea lions.

The label shows the volume as: 1 L (1000.0 ml) No legacy measures were seen.Sprouts is a chain in California and many western states similar to Whole Foods.On the marine mammal center web site, the mass of the patients is given in kg.http://www.marinemammalcenter.org/patients/current-patients/There was some mention about metric highway signs. It seems like there must be some way to speed up getting our highway signs converted to metric....Parker Willey Jr.San Jose, CA
