..and also that it's sea lion and not seal lion!

I'm an otherwise fairly intelligent person but this was a revelation!

🤔 I thought sea lions were called seals as seal is a dubious abbreviation of sea lion 😂

Sea lions are a type of seal,
aren’t they?

Same! But from different parts of the world and sea lions are a lot bigger.
