Mirounga leonina & Mirounga angustirotris

The genus of a sea lion is Zalophus. This genus includes two species of sea lions, the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) and the Galápagos sea lion (Zalophus wollebaeki). They are both known for their playful nature and agility in the water.

A fur seller is commonly referred to as a furrier.

The harbor seal's phylum name is Chordata. This phylum includes all animals with a notochord or spinal cord at some stage of their development.

The scientific name of the Hawaiian monk seal is Neomonachus schauinslandi.

The name Otariidae is a scientific name. It is Latin (the language of taxonomic categories), and the -idae ending indicates that it is the name of a family.

The Otariidae are a family of mammals commonly known as sea lions or fur seals. The Latin refers to the fact that these animals have external ears.

Taxonomy Together with the fur seal, they comprise the Otariidae family, collectively known as eared seals. Until recently, sea lions were grouped under a single subfamily called Otariinae to distinguish them from the fur seals Arcocephalinae, based on the most prominent common feature between all species, namely the lack of dense underfur characteristic of the latter. Recent genetic evidence, however, strongly suggests that the Callorhinus, the genus of the Northern fur seal is more closely related to some sea lion species than to the fur seal genus Arctocephalus. Therefore the fur seal/sealion subfamily distinction has been largely eliminated. Nonetheless, all sea lions have certain features in common, in particular the coarse, short fur, greater bulk and larger prey than fur seals.

The scientific name for a harp seal is Pagophilus groenlandicus.

The scientific name for harbor seals is Phoca vitulina.

The Scientific name for Leopard gecko is Eublepharus macularius.

They are part of the "eyelid gecko" species. they have the ability to close their eyes with eyelids similar to you and me.

The scientific name for seals in general is Pinnipedia.

Bear in mind that specific scientific name depends on the exact species. Phoca largha for example is the scientific name for the spotted seal.

The scientific name for a Steller sea lion is Eumetopias jubatus.

Seals do not have legs they have 2 front flippers and a rear tail.

"Seals are fast swimmers, and spend most of the year in the sea. Harp seals migrate south in the autumn and north in the summer, which can be a journey of up to 8,000 km total. They can also move very quickly across the ice. Harp seals are known to eat at least 67 different species of fish and 70 species of invertebrates. The diets of these diverse eaters also vary according to age, season, location, and year. Despite claims to the contrary, it is clear that Atlantic cod, including the northern cod stock, are only a minor component of the annual harp seal diet."

Like other mammals seals feed their babies with milk. Some seals have a relatively short lactation period-four days for the hooded seal and five weeks for elephant seals, while others nurse for up to 3 years.

Many animals have streamlined body shapes and hollow bones, for the simple reason they strive to go faster, either in a water environment or in the air (Aerodynamics).

Birds have hollow bones and usually have streamlined bodies if they are the product of natural evolution, unlike many game birds today.

In the water, many of the more aquatic mammals, such as Otters, are streamlined to go faster underwater. They do not, however, have hollow bones, their weight supported by the water, as is the case with many of the mammals. Seals and such do not have hollow bones, although they have a layer of blubber and smooth skin, and a mainly streamlined body.

This question is kinda like asking "How do we talk?" They do not exactly talk... And it Depends on what type of seal you are talking about. And what age, and what gender too. Arctic seals can make complex calls. There's up to 100 different sounds ranging from growls, whistles, chugs, groans and moans to upsweeping whistles and chirps. In the far north, the males use their long-range calls to attract distant females. Usually the male seals do most of the calling, to defend their territory or to attract females during the breeding season. Bearded seals and Weddell seals in the Antarctic produce a long descending whistle that goes on for 10 to 70 seconds. And they are doing it underwater, with their mouth and nostrils closed, so there's no air coming out, and they're literally shouting. On the other hand, harbor seals usually use quiet calls. But... Yea... Different seals have different calls for different reasons.
