A large, fish-eating mammal that has a round body, sleek fur, and lives near the sea, usually in cold climates.
Not to be confused with the sea lion. A seal is big and round with high body fat, holes for ears (excepting the fur seal), and often squishes its head inward inside of its own body fat. A sea lion has a thinner body, visible ear flaps, more defined and protruding head shape, can stand "upright" on its flippers which it uses to walk, and makes loud barking sounds.
