A seal is a mammal that spends most of its life in the ocean. Sometimes it comes to the shore to rest, though. Seals have flippers and also a tail similar to the tail of a fish. Seals have very round eyes, and they have whiskers around their noses.
Seals can live in very cold temperatures. They eat fish and sea birds that live in cold areas.
