   Why are seals and sea lions important?

   • Seals and sea lions belong to a group of marine mammals called pinnipeds, which means fin or flipper-footed. They are adapted for life in the ocean, but come on land for long periods of time. NOAA Fisheries and partners work to study, protect, and conserve these unique marine mammals and their habitats. 1) They have been around for a long time.

   How do seals and sea lions get around?

   • On land, seals and sea lions also have different methods for getting around. Sea lions, fur seals, and walruses are able to rotate their rear flippers up and under their bodies so that they can waddle on all four flippers. This enables their agile movement and balance on land. Seals, however, cannot do this and instead shimmy on their bellies.

   Can sea lions walk?

   • On land, seals can’t walk, and must undulate on their bellies, whereas sea lions use their large front and back flippers to “walk”. In Canada (marine regions of British Columbia in the Northeastern Pacific), we have two species of sea lions: Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) and the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus).

   Do sea lions swim in the ocean?

   • Some species spend the majority of their life in the ocean—female northern elephant seals spend 66 percent of their time in the open ocean. Despite looking similar, seals and sea lions propel themselves through the water in different ways. For the sea lion, swimming is all about the front flippers.
