Sea lion and fur seal Seals 1. The head has small, tiny external ear flaps. The front flippers are long like wings, no hair and no nails. The hind flippers are large and like paddles. They are hairless, and are webbed.
Nails appear halfway along middle three digits.
They can turn their hind flippers forward to move on land. The head has tiny ear holes, no flaps. The front flippers are short and blunt and covered with hair, nails are on the ends. The hind flippers are same as the front ones, and they cannot turn their hind flippers around. So movement is harder for them.
