Seals are mammals that are also called pinnipeds (this is the scientific name for a seal).
There eight types of seals in real life. Cartoons and animated movies have also adapted their own seal and pinniped characters that have become hugely popular.
Lion seals are also classified as pinnipeds. Pinniped means "fin-footed" in Latin, this makes sense as seals have feet that are shaped like fins. Whilst there are many similarities between the animals, a big difference between seals and sea lions can be found in their physical attributes and vocalizing habits.
