Sea lions are [[carnivorous]] marine [[mammals]] with long slender bodies and short coarse hair. Sea lions are often mistaken as seals but there are a few notable differences. The flippers of a sea lion are much larger than those of a seal. Also, the hind flippers of a sea lion can move forward in order to aid terrestrial movement. Sea lions feed mainly on small fish, shellfish, and squid. They need to worry about predators such as [[sharks]], [[orcas]], and [[man]].
