Broadly, pinnipeds are the 'earless' or true seals, of the family Phocidae; sea lions (5 species) and fur seals (9 species), also known as 'eared' seals, of the family Otariidae; and the Walrus (1 species) of the family Odobenidae; Cape fur seals are Otarids, like sea lions, but called, of course, fur seals. Phocids use their rear fins for propulsion and use their front fins to steer, Otarids use their front fins for propulsion and their rear fins for steering, and Walruses use both their front and rear fins for propulsion and steering. Otarids and Walruses can also walk (clumsily) on all four fins (legs) on land.
Those are sea lions, not seals, by the way. Seals are solitary, have shorter flippers, and swim with their bodies rather than their front flippers.
Nope these are seals. Cape fur seals. The biggest colony in Cape Town
