Characteristics include returning to dry land or pack ice to breed and give birth, lacking external ears, having sleek streamlined bodies, nipples that can be retracted, internal testicles, a penis in an internal sheath, a layer of blubber under the skin, the ability to divert blood to the blubber level to help control their temperature, fore-flippers that are used primarily for steering, and hind flippers bound to the pelvis in such a way that they cannot be moved under the body for walking.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 含十九個種、十個屬的科，極適於水棲生活，但會返回陸地或大塊浮冰上交配繁殖，無外耳，體細長呈流線型，乳頭可縮回，睪丸位於體內，陰莖則位於體內護皮中；擁有一層皮下脂肪，並能讓血液流經這層脂肪以調節體溫，其前鰭肢主要用於控制方向，後鰭肢與骨盆相連，因此無法於身體下方移動以協助行走。 |
| Dutch ..... Familie van negentien soorten in tien genera. De dieren zijn in hoge mate aangepast aan het leven in het water, maar paren op droog land of op pakijs, en daar worden ook de jongen geboren. Ze hebben gladde, gestroomlijnde lichamen, tepels die ze kunnen intrekken, interne testikels, een penis in een interne schede, een laag blubber onder de huid, de mogelijkheid om bloed naar de blubber te sturen om hun temperatuur te regelen, voorflippers die ze voornamelijk gebruiken om mee te sturen en achterflippers die zodanig aan het bekken vastzitten dat de dieren ze niet onder het lichaam kunnen houden om erop te lopen. Ze hebben geen externe oren. |
