Information on both the differences and similarities of seals and sea lions.
There are 33 species of seals, sea lions, fur seals and walrus that populate the world's oceans and lakes. All pinnipeds breath air and some are capable of very deep and prolonged dives. The northern elephant seal, for example, is capable of diving to depths over 1,500 feet and can remain under the surface of the water for 2 hours

Reviewer: Marc Gyssens (Antwerp, Belgium) - See all my reviews
I like this book book very much for its completeness (at least at the species level, but subspecies are discussed in the text), the combination of drawings and photographs, and the extensive information. In my opinion, drawings are much more useful for identification than photographs, and are therefore a must in a field guide, but it helps a lot when this is complemented with a few good photographs. Detailed distribution maps as well as information on behavior are very helpful in the identification process. Because of the extensive information, the book is an identification guide and a reference book at the same time. Despite the number of pages, the size is still sufficiciently practical for a field guide.

They're mammals.

Pinnipeds share five common characteristics with other mammals. They're warm-blooded (maintain a high and constant body temperature independent of the surroundings), give live birth, nurse their young, breathe air, and have hair. Since they live in the marine environment and they find their food at sea, pinnipeds are called marine mammals. Other marine mammals include whales and sea otters.
