Topic: Otariidae


  
  Walrus 411
There are the Phocidae that means “true seals”, the Otariidae which means “eared seals” and which includes the fur seals and sea lions, and last, the Odobenidae which means “the walrus”.
However, the most noticeable ways are that the Otariidae seals have outer ear flaps and they usually walk on both their hind and fore flippers.
Another way that they differ is that Otariidae seals drive themselves through the water by their fore flippers with a sculling motion.

 Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: PINNEPEDIA
All pinnipeds had to modify the basic mammalian pattern, which is designed for life on land, into a body form adapted to life in the three dimensional environment of water.
There are three generally recognized families in the Pinnipedia: Phocidae (true seals), Otariidae (eared seals), and Odobenidae (walruses).
The similarities between the Odobenidae and the Otariidae are sufficient to justify combining them into a superfamily: the Otarioidea.
