- Why Did Seals and Sea Lions Never Commit to a Life Fully at Sea?
Seals, sea lions and walruses of every era still piled onto beaches to rest, reproduce and escape predators—from carnivorous walrus relatives of ages past to the elephant seals that shore up
- Fossil Focus: Seals, sea lions and walruses – PALAEONTOLOGY [online]
This has prevented scientists from addressing where seals originated, as well as whether they evolved in tropical or cold climates, or freshwater or marine environments The evolution of some seal groups is still poorly known, in particular for fur seals and sea lions as well as earless seals
- Oldest record of monk seals from the North Pacific and biogeographic . . .
Here we present the oldest fossil record of crown phocids, monachines (monk seals), from the North Pacific region The specimens were collected from the upper Monterey Formation in Southern California and are dated to 8 5–7 1 Ma, predating the previously oldest known record by at least 7 Ma

- Most comprehensive seal family tree reveals the hidden history of . . .
Any seals left in the North Pacific, namely the walruses, suffered the worst Whilst this latest study can’t yet give a definitive answer on where seals originated, it has created the first unified evolutionary tree for all extinct and living pinniped species
- Giant seal fossil found in New Zealand hints they evolved in the south
But the discovery of E belegaerensis in New Zealand suggests that the ancestors of living Antarctic, elephant and monk seals actually evolved in the southern hemisphere
- Seal fossil discoveries offer a window into the past, and a warning . . .
Two seal fossil discoveries are rewriting experts’ understanding of the evolution of “monachines”, a group of seal relatives comprising the two living species of monk seal, the elephant seals and Antarctic seals – what they were like, and where they evolved
- List of fossil pinnipedimorphs - Wikipedia
