Sea Lions tend to be much bolder, gregarious and more playful than seals IMObservation. Like Jason said, the sea lions have ears while the seals lack them (both are in different families sea lions are classified in the family Otaridae (eared seals) and seals are in the family Otobennidae (earless seals). The seals also do tend to appear fatter, while the sea lions seem to have more of a muscular form.
