Earless seals. These marine mammals are
ungainly on land but quick and agile in the water. Their front flippers are
short, and their hind limbs extend straight back. They use their hind limbs only
when swimming, and move on land by taking short hops. They have large eyes and
nose, but no external ears. They feed on fish, shell fish, squid and octopus.
They are most often seen when sunning on land.
