The difference between seals and sea lions

Seals and sea lions are two very common animals in our lives, but there are still big differences between seals and sea lions. Seals have some spots on their bodies, while sea lions have no spots on their bodies. Sea lions' bodies are smooth and have no other colors. Except for some differences in their facial features, their shapes and sensitivity are also different.

The differences between seals and sea lions are as follows: 1. Sea lions have no spots, while seals have spots. Sea lions are slippery with almost no other colors, while seals usually have many small spots on their bodies, or even have spots all over. A careful comparison will show that there is a huge difference.

2. Sea lions have ears, but seals don’t. Sea lions have a pair of cute ears, which are the external ears, while seals only have ear holes and no ear outlines, and their heads appear smaller overall. Sea lions are relatively larger and more pointed. 3. The claws of sea lions are more like fish, while the claws of seals are more like cat claws. If you compare the feet of sea lions and seals carefully, you will find that the claws of sea lions are more like fins, smooth and long, and the fins can be placed forward, while the claws of seals are furry, have small hooks, and the front feet are shorter. 4. Sea lions have relatively long necks, while seals have almost no necks. Sea lions have relatively long necks, allowing them to lift their heads high, while seals have round and fat necks, and extremely short necks. In terms of standing height, sea lions can easily beat seals. 5. Sea lions can lift their upper bodies, but seals cannot

Sea lions have longer front legs, so they can lift their upper body, that is, lift their belly away from the ground, but seals cannot do this. Seals can only move with their belly close to the ground, dragging their bodies slowly forward. 6. Sea lions can perform ball-heading performances, but seals cannot. As mentioned before, sea lions have pointy heads and can lift their bodies, so oceanariums often use sea lions to perform ball-heading performances, but seals cannot do this, so seals can only appear in "posters". 7. The swimming postures of sea lions and seals are different. Sea lions swim with their bodies raised, while seals swim on their stomachs. This is the essential difference between the two. The sea lion's swimming posture is more graceful, while the seal's swimming posture is more cute.
