they have ear flaps as they are in the water to reduce the amount of water inside the ear they flap it out and shake their booty
Unlike seals, which have small ear flaps, sea lions have external ear flaps that are more prominent. This anatomical difference is one of the key features that distinguishes sea lions from true seals. Additionally, sea lions are generally more social and agile on land, often using their flippers to walk, whereas seals tend to be more cumbersome on land.
Sea lions have developed several different adaptations. Sea lions have external ear flaps, a streamlined shape, and sea lions use both front and back flippers to walk or run on land.Sea Lions have strong thick fur to keep it warm
The two species are similar in many ways, but they are different in some others, most notably Harp Seals do not have any visible ears, while Sea Lions have visible ear flaps.
elephant have ear flaps so they can pick up good signal
In Filipino, a sea lion is called "liyon ng dagat." These marine mammals are known for their playful behavior and are often found along coastlines. Sea lions belong to the family Otariidae and are characterized by their external ear flaps and ability to "walk" on land using their flippers.

Sea lions are any of seven species in six genera of modern pinnipeds including one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion). Sea lions are characterized by the presence of external ear pinnae (ear-flaps), long front flippers, and the ability to walk on all four flippers on land. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the northern and southern hemispheres with the notable exception of the Atlantic Ocean.

No, the sea lion is not a genus species; rather, it refers to several species within the family Otariidae. The two most commonly known species are the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) and the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus). Each species belongs to its own genus, with sea lions generally characterized by external ear flaps and the ability to walk on land using their flippers.
Sea lions are in the family Otariidae ("eared seals"), therefore they have external ears and hear stuff very much the same way we do. The family Phocidae ("earless seals") has no visible ears, but can still hear.
Large ear flaps in some animals, such as elephants, are important for regulating body temperature. The blood vessels in the ears help dissipate heat, allowing the animal to cool down. Additionally, the ear flaps can help amplify sound for better hearing.
The ear flaps are called 'leather'.
