SEA LIONS (NOT SEALS)

Correct Chic. Sea lions (Otarids) can rotate their hind flippers under the body and walk on land quite well, also have external ear pinnae (outer part of the ear). True seals (Phocids) are generally "sausage" shaped and can't bend their short flippers under their bodies, and no external ear pinnae but just a hole where the ear is.

I know you cannot mention everyone, but over the past 30-40 years there was also Diane Wilson and family's seal act and Lee & Judy Stevens had a seal act some years ago.
