Best Answer

Both fissipeds and pinnipeds are to do with the order Carnivora (not to be confused with carnivorous animals).

Fissipeds are the terrestral members or the order Carnivora. eg. cats, dogs, bears, weasels etc.

Pinnipeds are the aquatic members of the order Carnivora. eg. true seals, eared seals and walruses.
