Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How do sea lions differ from seals?
Sea lions have small external ear flaps and large front flippers that allow them to move easily on land. True seals lack external ears and crawl on their bellies when moving on shore.
Why do sea lions have long whiskers?
Their whiskers, also called vibrissae, touch surrounding water to feel vibrations from swimming fish. This helps them navigate turbid ocean waters and locate prey effectively.
Can sea lions swim deep in the ocean?
Yes, sea lions are capable divers that can reach depths of several hundred feet while searching for food. They can hold their breath underwater for many minutes at a time.
