   Do sea lions have fur?

   • Fur seals and sea lions can rotate their hind feet and use them to walk along with some speed. Also, fur seals are so-named because they have thick fur that can trap air and help keep them warm. True seals have thin fur and use blubber for insulation. There are 18 species of true seals, according to Seals World.

   How do seals and sea lions differ?

   • While all species of seals and sea lions have adapted pristine agility in the water, it’s easy to spot another difference by observing their flippers and how they move around. True seals have smaller front flippers and swim by moving their rear flippers side to side like a fish tail to propel themselves.

   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.
