Taxonomic remark From Berta, 2018: Enaliarctos was a small, fully aquatic pinnipedimorph with shearing teeth (as is typical of most terrestrial carnivorans), flexible spine, and fore and hind limbs modified as flippers. Several features of the hind limb suggest that Enaliarctos was capable of maneuvering on land although probably spent more time near the shore than extant pinnipeds. [details]
