OK! What's the difference?.
Pinnipeds, fin-footed marine mammals, are divided into two categories: earless seals (true seals) and eared seals (sea lions). Earless seals like the Northern elephant seal and harbor seal are believed to have descended from a line of terrestrial mammals similar to otters. Eared seals like the California sea lion and the Northern fur seal are believed to have descended from a bear-like mammal. Adaptations like fins for mobility, blubber for warmth and hydrodynamic body shape help both species survive in an aquatic habitat.
Not that it really matters, but I'd like to know which one of these beasts are catching soooo many Salmon in the River...I don't think he's tagging them, and I'd bet he's keeping some natives.....
