Seals are adorable, funny creatures and just thinking about them can instantly lift up anyone's mood.

Kids absolutely adore funny seals and you can incorporate some fun into your conversations by adding these puns. These goofy aquatic mammals might have a seal-ly disposition on land, but their long, rounded shapes keep them agile in water.

There are at least 33 known species of seals and all are categorized as pinnipedia, which means “fin-footed.” Pinnipeds are separated into three families: eared seals (fur seals and sea lions), true seals (common seals), and odobenidae (walrus). Male seals are called "bulls" and can live as long as 25 to 30 years.

Females, called "cows", are expected to live longer, and give birth to one pup per year.

Seals are found in coasts and coldwater, particularly in the Arctic and Antarctic seas. Seals are able to keep their composure on ice because of their blubbers, which is a layer of fat that keeps them warm. Because they spend months in sea, seals can actually sleep underwater and can hold their breath for as long as two hours.

To get some giggles, try telling a seal pun or two from this list.
