Soooooo?

Soooooo?
 
I am wanting to know what word to use for "so". There are many choices in this dictionary, but I'm getting mixed information from my friends as to what the word is.

For example:

So what do you look at to tell who’s who?
Sea lions are carnivores so they eat fish, squid, crabs, and clams.
The evidence proved otherwise, so he could no longer claim innocent.

Can you guys help me?

Thanks!

So what do you look at to tell who’s who?
¿qué es lo que miras para distinguirlos?
Sea lions are carnivores so they eat fish, squid, crabs, and clams.
Los leones de mar son carnívoros por lo que comen pez, calamar, cangrejos y almejas
The evidence proved otherwise, so he could no longer claim innocent.
La evidencia lo ha demostrado fuera de toda duda, por lo tanto el no puede seguir declarandose inocente.

so
 
so has so many meanings. Sometimes it means pues. Sometimes it means
tanto. I love you so. Te amo tanto. So, let's eat. Pues vamos a comer. So can mean because, etc.

Hi,

Usually so is Así que/Entonces/Así/Así es que. The first two, I think, are the most common. Pues and bueno mean "well" in examples like this:

Bueno/pues/Bueno, pues creo que.....=Well, I think that.......

¿Se podría también usar "pues" en este caso?

Nunca ha tomado ese examen, pues/así que/entonces no sabe cómo es=He has never taken that test before, so he doesn't know what it's like

Muchas gracias

Nunca ha hecho este tipo de examen, por lo que/así que/ no sabe como es.
"pues" no es una buena opción aquí
mejor "por lo que" que "entonces"
saludos :D
