Otariinae is a subfamily of the otariid seals, which includes the eared seals (Otaria flavescens) and the sea lions (Otaria byronia). These animals are found in the southern hemisphere, primarily in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. They are characterized by their external ear flaps, which are not present in other otariid seals.
