Otariidae (family) (Carnivora (order), Mammalia (class), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Family containing 14 species in seven genera comprising sea lions and fur seals. They are adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, feeding and migrating in the water but breeding and resting on land or ice, having small but visible external ear flaps, larger foreflippers and pectoral muscles than true seals, and the ability to turn their hind limbs forward and walk on all fours. With true seals and walruses, arose in the late Miocene (10-12 million years ago), descended from a common ancestor most closely related to modern bears.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 含海獅與海狗等十四個種、七個屬的科。生活形態為半水棲，於水中進食、遷徙，但於陸地上或冰上繁殖與休息，外耳廓小卻可見、前鰭狀肢和胸肌較海豹大，後鰭狀肢可向前轉，以四肢前進。與海豹科和海象科同時出現於中新世晚期（一千至一千兩百萬年前），祖先相同，且其祖先與現代熊的血緣最為接近。 |
| Dutch ..... Familie van veertien soorten in zeven genera waartoe zeeleeuwen en pelsrobben behoren. De dieren zijn aangepast aan het leven in het water, waar ze zich voeden en waar ze doorheen trekken, maar ze paren en rusten op het land of op ijs. Ze hebben kleine, maar zichtbare externe oorflappen, grotere voorflippers en borstspieren dan echte zeehonden en kunnen hun achterste ledematen naar voren richten en op alle vier de ledematen lopen. De soorten uit deze familie ontstonden samen met de echte zeehonden en walrussen in het Laat-Mioceen (10 tot 12 miljoen jaar geleden). Ze hebben een gemeenschappelijke voorouder die het nauwst verwant was aan moderne beren. |
