Enaliarctos is an extinct genus of pinniped.
One of the first pinnipeds, the 1,50 m (5 ft) Enaliarctos was most likely amphibious, living like an otter. It had a short tail and developed limbs with webbed feet. Still, Enaliarctos had some sea lion-like characteristics such as large eyes, sensitive whiskers and a specialized inner ear for hearing sound under water.
