Las focas y los leones marinos tienen un aspecto similar y algunas veces es complicado saber cuál es cuál. Ambos mamíferos marinos nadan con aletas y pueden encontrarse en océanos alrededor del mundo. Uno tiene orejas visibles, mientras que las orejas del otro no son externas.

Ya sobre tierra, uno rebota hacia sus alrededores, mientras que el otro puede “caminar” sobre sus aletas.

Seals and sea lions look very similar and it’s sometimes difficult to tell which is which. Both of these marine mammals swim with flippers and can be found in oceans all over the world.

On land, one bounces along and the other can “walk” on their flippers.
