Wikipedia

  1. phocidae

    The earless seals, phocids or true seals are one of the three main groups of mammals within the seal lineage, Pinnipedia. All true seals are members of the family Phocidae (). They are sometimes called crawling seals to distinguish them from the fur seals and sea lions of the family Otariidae. Seals live in the oceans of both hemispheres and, with the exception of the more tropical monk seals, are mostly confined to polar, subpolar, and temperate climates. The Baikal seal is the only species of exclusively freshwater seal.

  1. phocidae

    Phocidae, also identified as true seals or earless seals, is a family of marine mammals which are known for their sleek, streamlined bodies adapted for swimming in cold ocean waters. Members of this family lack external ear flaps and have flippers which make them highly mobile in water yet clumsy on land. They are typically found in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres and include species like the Harbor seal and the Harp seal.
