Seals, or phocids, are called seals because there nostrils 'seal' at rest while swimming, they have internal ears only, they propel themselves with their rear tail fins and they can hold their breath, and warm blood, in some extreme environments.
Sea-lions differ with external ears, front flipper propulsion and a useful pelvis allowing rear leg rotation below the body.
Think of seals as slugs and sea-lions as bears that swim

Calves at birth weigh about 180 kg (350-500 lb) and are about 2.4 m long (6-8 ft).
The Killer whale's large size and strength make them among the fastest marine mammals, often reaching speeds in excess of 56 km/h (35 mph). The males dorsal fin is about double the size of the females.
