From Land to Sea: The Early Evolution of Pinnipeds
During the second half of the Eocene, the Caniform Carnivorans began their first initial wave of diversification. One notable lineage that emerged by the end of the period were the Pan-Pinnipedians, being early relatives of modern seals, sea lions and walruses. The most basal of these were firmly terrestrial animals such as the tiny Parictis, a raccoon-like omnivore and capable climber once thought to have been the oldest known Ursid. More derived forms shifted to increasingly semi-aquatic niches, such as the superficially otter-like Semantorids. The famous Puijila was a member of this family and is often hailed as the 'missing link' in seal evolution; in reality this animal was not a direct ancestors of Pinnipeds but a close cousin. More firmly aquatic and sea dwelling forms appeared in t...

Seals and Sea Lions – What's the Difference?
@NGScience @MatholiaChannel #pinnipeds #ngscience
https://ngscience.com
Seals and sea lions, both members of the marine mammal group known as pinnipeds, which also includes walruses, share a multitude of similarities, including their streamlined bodies and aquatic prowess, yet they exhibit distinct differences that set them apart. These differences are not just limited to physical characteristics but extend to behaviors and adaptations that allow each species to thrive in their respective marine environments. Understanding these distinctions not only helps in identifying each animal but also offers insights into the remarkable diversity of life adapted to Earth’s oceans.

What Are Pinnipeds? | Nona The Naturalist Explains
Nona the Naturalist explains about pinnipeds.
Pinnipeds, commonly known as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae, Otariidae, and Phocidae. There are 33 extant species of pinnipeds, and more than 50 extinct species have been described from fossils.

Seals, Sea Lions, and Walrus: Pinnipeds
One self-evident contrast between walruses, seals and ocean lions is that walruses are the as it were pinnipeds with tusks. These tusks are display in both guys and females.
Other than tusks, walruses have a few similitudes to both seals and ocean lions. Like genuine seals, walruses do not have unmistakable ear folds. But, like eared seals, walruses can walk on their flippers by turning their rear flippers beneath their body.

During the second half of the Eocene, the Caniform Carnivorans began their first initial wave of diversification. One notable lineage that emerged by the end of the period were the Pan-Pinnipedians, being early relatives of modern seals, sea lions and walruses. The most basal of these were firmly terrestrial animals such as the tiny Parictis, a raccoon-like omnivore and capable climber once thought to have been the oldest known Ursid.

The famous Puijila was a member of this family and is often hailed as the 'missing link' in seal evolution; in reality this animal was not a direct ancestors of Pinnipeds but a close cousin. More firmly aquatic and sea dwelling forms appeared in the Late Oligocene, such as the small Enaliarctos. True Pinnipeds also diverged at this time but only became more common and diverse during the Miocene when the familiar modern seals, sea lions and walruses radiated widely.

https://ngscience.com
Seals and sea lions, both members of the marine mammal group known as pinnipeds, which also includes walruses, share a multitude of similarities, including their streamlined bodies and aquatic prowess, yet they exhibit distinct differences that set them apart. These differences are not just limited to physical characteristics but extend to behaviors and adaptations that allow each species to thrive in their respective marine environments. Understanding these distinctions not only helps in identifying each animal but also offers insights into the remarkable diversity of life adapted to Earth’s oceans.
Shared Characteristics
Before delving into the differences between seals and sea lions, it's important to recognize the traits that unite them. Both possess sleek, streamlined bodies designed for efficient swimming through the ocean's depths. Their limbs have evolved into flippers, which serve as powerful tools for propulsion and navigation in their aquatic surroundings. Seals and sea lions are adept divers, capable of plunging to great depths in search of fish, squid, and other marine creatures that constitute their diet. Their teeth and jaws are specialized for seizing and consuming prey, making them effective predators within their marine habitats.
Moreover, both seals and sea lions are subject to predation by larger marine animals such as sharks and killer whales. They have developed various strategies to evade these predators, including agile swimming maneuvers and the use of coastal habitats as refuges. These pinnipeds are also known to come ashore to rest, breed, and give birth, displaying a fascinating blend of marine and terrestrial behaviors.
Distinguishing Features
Ear Structure
One of the most noticeable differences between seals and sea lions lies in their ear structures. Sea lions are equipped with external ear flaps (pinnae), which are visibly prominent on the sides of their heads, giving them a characteristic appearance. In contrast, seals lack external ear flaps, possessing only small, inconspicuous ear openings that are barely visible and do not protrude from the head.
Flipper Structure and Locomotion
The anatomy of their flippers significantly influences how seals and sea lions move, both in water and on land. Sea lions have large, flexible front flippers, which they use effectively for propulsion in water. On land, their ability to rotate their hind flippers forward allows them to "walk" or strut, showcasing a level of agility uncommon among marine mammals. Seals, on the other hand, have smaller front flippers and hind flippers that do not rotate forward. This anatomical difference renders seals less graceful on land, where they exhibit a distinctive wiggling motion as they scoot along the ground.
Social Behavior
Behaviorally, sea lions and seals could not be more different. Sea lions are inherently social animals, often found in large groups called rookeries. They are vocal communicators, frequently barking and using a variety of sounds to interact with one another. This social nature extends to their breeding colonies, where sea lions gather in large numbers, with males establishing territories and harems.
Seals, conversely, are more solitary creatures. While they may be seen in groups, especially in popular resting areas or during breeding seasons, they generally display a quieter demeanor and are less inclined towards vocalizations. Their social structures are less defined than those of sea lions, with a greater emphasis on individual space.
Adaptations to Marine Life
Beyond these primary differences, both seals and sea lions have evolved unique adaptations that enable them to thrive in their respective marine environments. For example, their diving capabilities are supported by physiological adaptations that allow them to conserve oxygen and withstand pressure changes as they dive to significant depths. Both have a layer of blubber under their skin, serving as insulation in cold waters and as an energy reserve.
Conservation Status
The conservation status of seals and sea lions varies by species, with some thriving and others facing threats from habitat degradation, climate change, and human activities. Efforts to protect these marine mammals include habitat preservation, regulations on commercial fishing practices to reduce bycatch, and the establishment of marine protected areas.

One self-evident contrast between walruses, seals and ocean lions is that walruses are the as it were pinnipeds with tusks. These tusks are display in both guys and females.
Other than tusks, walruses have a few similitudes to both seals and ocean lions. Like genuine seals, walruses do not have unmistakable ear folds. But, like eared seals, walruses can walk on their flippers by turning their rear flippers beneath their body.
