   How do you know if a walrus is a sea lion?

   • You can also recognize a walrus based on their tusks, impressive whiskers, and wrinkly skin. While both sea lions and walruses can be the same brown shade, sea lions are covered in short brown fur. They also do not have tusks, and their front flippers have claws, making them much more capable on land when compared to walruses.

   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.
