    Why are eared seals called earless seals?
    They’re also called earless seals to distinguish them from other pinnipeds, such as walruses (family Odobenidae) and eared seals (family Otariidae). They are sometimes referred to as crawling seals as well because they crawl awkwardly on their bellies, compared to other pinnipeds whose hindlimbs are better developed.

Seals are primarily found in the Northern Hemisphere, with a predominantly circumpolar distribution.
