Marine mammals are classified into four different taxonomic groups: cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises), pinnipeds (seals, sea lions , and walruses), sirenians (manatees and dugongs), and marine fissipeds (polar bears and sea otters ).
Seals and sea lions are semiaquatic mammals that are in a group called pinnipeds, meaning “fin-footed.” Walruses are also members of this group.

Male and female penguins mate via an opening called a cloaca, and the seals are thought to have actually penetrated the penguins in some of the acts, which were caught on film by Haddad. In three of the four recorded incidents the seal let the penguin go. Fur seals often catch and eat penguins on the island.
Sharks are a special type of fish known because their body is made out of cartilage instead of bones like other fish . The classification of this type of fish is “elasmobranch.” This category also includes rays, sawfish, and skates.
