Scientists group seals, sea lions, fur seals, and walruses together in the scientific order called Pinnipedia. Because these animals live in the marine environment and they find their food at sea, pinnipeds are marine mammals. Six different species of seal live in Antarctic waters - Ross, Weddell, crabeater, leopard, fur and elephant seals. The other two species - Antarctic fur seals and elephant seals - are both found north of the pack-ice zone and breed in dense colonies on beaches.
