Pinniped
Pinnipeds are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals. The name derives from the Latin words pinna and pes, which means ‘foot’ or ‘pinniped’ Seals produce a number of vocalizations, notably the barks of California sea lions, the gong-like calls of walruses and the complex songs of Weddell seals.
