Read this passage about seals and sea lions and then answer the question that
follows:
From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can
actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals.
Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals
have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps.
Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the
beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the
whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea
lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.
