A sea lion mom recently gave birth to 10 baby sea lion babies at Tiger Beach Ocean Park in Dalian, Northeast China's Liaoning province.

However, the youngest of the newborns, nicknamed "little 10", was abandoned by the new mother due to the baby's extremely weak body.

A sea lion breeder at the park therefore took up the role of feeding "little 10" daily. And now the baby sea lion has bonded with its new human father.

The lactation period for a sea lion is generally one year and it lifespan can reach over 20 years.
