I know I complain about Internet sea lions, but I am now someone who goes ‘whale actually!’ To anyone who says ‘look, a seal!’ But it is a sea lion
Is it a sea lion or a seal? Here’s a handy graphic from NOAA
The most useful is ‘quiet vocalization’ (seals) vs ‘noisy barks’.

This is what many sea lions sound like (I took this video when I started my aquarium job). I had to walk by this noisy bunch twice a day (until they left) (yes it smelled bad)
