'''Seals''' are large seafaring [[animal]]s of the Northern and Southern [[Hemisphere]]s. Despite having smooth skin, scientists classify them as being [[mammal]]s. Seals are distingushed from [[sealion]]s because they have [[flipper]]s instead of back feet, and [[ear]]s. They resemble large [[otter]]s, but are fatter because they have a protective layer of [[blubber]] beneath their skin.
In legal terminology, to seal is to mark a document with a seal; to authenticate or make binding by affixing a seal. As a noun in legal terminology, a seal is a [[court]] seal or a corporate seal.
Seals have been known to man since antiquity; however, they are not mentioned in the [[Bible]] because there are no [[species]] of seal native to the [[Mediterranean]] or the [[Red Sea]]. They feed mainly on [[fish]] and [[seaweed]].
