The true seal family, scientifically known as Phocidae, comprises marine mammals commonly referred to as "true seals." Unlike their relatives, the eared seals, true seals lack external ear flaps and have a more streamlined body adapted for swimming. They are found in various oceanic environments and are known for their ability to dive and hunt for fish and other marine life. Common examples include the harbor seal and the elephant seal.
