The aquatic environment and the remoteness of their habitats make seals, sea lions, and walruses difficult to study. Yet, encounters with these species have produced a great interest in their past, present, and future." -- Cover.

Book Description
What’s the difference between a seal and a sea lion? These “second cousins” of the sea look similar, but there are many ways to tell these creatures apart. From ear shape to the noises they make to communicate, seals and sea lions are amazing creatures with both shared features and many truly unique attributes. They both share an ocean habitat, but when readers take a closer look, it’s easy to discover how they each fight off predators, mate, and raise their young in different ways. Captivating full-color photographs help to bring these marvelous mammals to vivid life.

These are some of the fascinating facts kids will discover as they learn all about these swift marine mammals. Eye-popping photos and clear, easy-to-read text will engage emergent readers as they discover the anatomical features that help California sea lions reach fast speeds. A "Speed-o-Meter" graphic compares the sea lion’s top speed to that of other animals.
