Seal Facts:
Though seals and sea Lions both
belong to the order of Pinnipedia (fin footed) they have many
obvious differences. Seals have no ear flaps, like sea lions.
Sea lions are also called "sea dogs" because of the barking
noises they make. By contrast, seals are much less vocal,
except when young: the pups make "plaintive" cries when
calling for their mothers. |
