Eared Sea Monkey

Eared sea monkeys (Pinnepitheciidae) are a family of sea lion-like semi-aquatic primates found throughout the world's shorelines, with one species even making homes in Antarctica. Despite their names, these are not true monkeys, but an advanced form of primitive-grouped primates related to bushbabies and lemurs, and not to be confused with brine shrimp known as sea-monkeys (which should be more accurately be known as sea monkey shrimp). They are carnivorous and mainly feed on fish, squid, sea stars, sea urchins, crustaceans, and sea worms. All known species of eared sea monkeys are listed as Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and their ability to tolerate most human activities, including being able to live on beaches where humans visit and such.
