Sea lions are a type of seal, but there are several differences between them and other seals. They are called "eared seals" because their ears are visible on the outsides of their heads.
Sea lions can also stand up on their front flippers and swivel their back flippers in ways that seals can't. Check out this baby seal drawing to compare the two.
Sea lions are also similar to walruses in their body shape. The biggest difference is the walruses' huge tusks. You can see them in this walrus drawing.
