California sea lions (Carnivora: Otariidae: Zalophus californianus) can be found along the Pacific coast from southern Alaska to central Mexico. Many along the US congregate and breed around the Channel Islands in southern California in the summer. Ventura California, 26 Oct 2013.

Just finished updating my review on the evolution and fossil record of the eared seals (Otariidae) given the new paper that came out on the early Pleistocene Otaria josefinae from Peru 😅 #blog #paleo #paleontology 🦖🐬🧪 Read it here:

Steller sea lions are the largest member of the family Otariidae, the “eared seals.”
They're also one of the species threatened by the Trump's latest push to open more than 100 million acres off the coast of #Alaska to highly destructive seabed mining.

Steller sea lions (Carnivora: Otariidae: Eumetopias jubatus) inhabit northern Pacific coastlines from California to Japan. They’re often encountered resting together on rocks and shores, basking in the warmth of the sun while they digest their food. Puget Sound, Washington, 18 Apr 2015.

New blog post, and it's a long one: all about the fossil record and evolution of "eared seals" - or, the fur seals and sea lions. I review their anatomy, current and former diversity, phylogeny, macroevolutionary patterns, and sexual dimorphism. 🦖🦑🐬🧪 #marinemammals #paleontology #evolution

So cool!
The main way to identify a phocidae (seal) from an otariidae (sea lion) is by locomotion. Seals move mainly with their hind flippers, while sea lions swim mostly with their front flippers. They can also rotate them while walking on land. Seals can't, they're potatoes

sea lion: yo did you hear that
seal, sitting next to him: no
(like bc sea lions have external ears but seals don't. they're one of two subfamilies of otariidae, the family called "eared seals")
