They belong to the order Pinnipeadia which means "fin-footed". Pinnipeadia means two fins in the front, and two fins in the back. There are three different types of seals. Phocidae (true seal), Otaridae (fur seals and sea lions), Odobenidae (Walrus). A Pinnipeadia is a mammal, and their sticky body's are ideal for gliding through water.
