While living sea lions and seals can be distinguished by their ear flaps and front flipper shapes, stuffed versions of these species do not seem to take much notice. Their differences are much more interest or activity-based. For instance, Carmen, our talented stuffed seal, has developed an interest in playing the harp. This irony is not lost on us. She would love to find a home with a living companion who enjoys listening to and playing music and who can provide transportation to and financing for her lessons.
