Eared seals, also known as otariids, are a group of aquatic mammals that are characterized by their external ears and long front flippers. They include the OTARY, which is a five-letter word, and the sealion, which is a seven-letter word. These animals are found in the waters of the Pacific and Southern Oceans, and they feed on fish, squid, and other marine life. They are also known for their ability to move quickly on land, using their front flippers to propel themselves forward.
