"Seals" Meaning

Seals are large, carnivorous marine mammals that belong to the suborder Pinnipedia, which also includes sea lions and walruses. They have a streamlined body, flippers, and a thick layer of blubber to stay warm in cold water.

There are two distinct types of seals: earless seals (also known as true seals) and eared seals, which include the sea lions and fur seals.

Seals are found in the oceans of the world, from the Arctic to the temperate and sub-Antarctic waters, and are known for their ability to swim and dive with ease.

The word "seal" can also refer to a device used to make a mark or signature on a document, such as an electronic seal or a wax seal.
