Seals are fin-footed, semiaquatic marine mammals and are divided in 3 families: phocidae, the earless or true seal (eg. common seal), otaridae, eared seals (eg. fur seals and sea lions) and odobenidae (walrus).
There are 33 species of seals found throughout the world.
Seals are found in most waters of the world, mainly in the Arctic and Antarctica but also in some areas of the tropics.
The lifespan of seals ranges from 15 to 40 years, depending on the sex, species and living conditions. Females usually live longer than males.
The smallest seal species is the Baikal seal (Pusa sibirica) reaching 1.3 meters (4 ft 3 in) in length and weighing from 63 to 70 kilograms (139 to 154 pounds).
