  1. PINNIPEDS: SEALS AND SEA LIONS By: CHRIS TOLERCHRISTI BROWNBETH GAMBILL

  2. GOALS • TO RESEARCH ANATOMICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEALS AND THE SEA LIONS • TO OBSERVE BEHAVIORAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SEALS AND SEA LIONS

  3. OBSERVATIONS • LOUISVILLE ZOO • SEAL AND SEA LION EXHIBIT

  4. HOW DO YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SEAL AND A SEA LION?

  5. SEA LION • HEAD: HAS SMALL, SLIM EXTERNAL EAR FLAPS. • FRONT FLIPPERS: LONG AND WING-LIKE; USUALLY HAIRLESS. NO NOTICEABLE NAILS • HIND FLIPPERS: LARGE AND PADDLELIKE; HAIRLESS; WEBBED DIGITS. NAILS MIDWAY ALONG MIDDLE DIGITS. CAN TURN HIND FLIPPERS FORWARD FOR LOCOMOTION ON LAND

  6. SEALS • HEAD: HAS TINY EAR HOLES; NO EAR FLAPS. • FRONT FLIPPERS: SHORT AND BLUNT; COVERED WITH HAIR. CLAWLIKE NAILS ON DIGITS. • HIND FLIPPERS: SHORT AND PADDLELIKE; COVERED WITH HAIR; WEBBED DIGITS. NAILS ON ALL DIGITS. CAN’T TURN HIND FLIPPERS FORWARD.

  9. SEA LION BEHAVIOR • SWIMMING PATTERNS • BREATHING PATTERNS • INTERACTION WITH OTHER SEA LIONS • TRICKS

  10. SEAL BEHAVIOR • SWIMMING PATTERNS • BREATHING PATTERNS • INTERACTION WITH OTHER SEALS • TRICKS

  11. WRAPPING IT UP! • ACTIVITY COMPARISONS • GROUP INTERACTION COMPARISONS • VOCALIZATIONS • COMPETITION

  12. THE END
