A sea lion is a mammal that spends most of its life in the ocean. A sea lion has a smooth body and a face with round eyes and whiskers around its small nose. Sea lions look similar to another sea animal called a seal, but they are not the same animal. Sea lions have a large, strong tail and large front flippers that are bigger than the flippers that seals have. Sea lions' tails and their long flippers allow them to sit up. Humans sometimes train sea lions to do tricks.
Aidan thought the animal doing tricks at the zoo was a seal, but it was really a sea lion.
