seals
n. countablen. large sea animals with thick fur and flippers that live in cold areas. They spend most of their time in the water but come onto land or ice to rest and have babies.
n. any of several families of carnivorous marine mammals characterized by streamlined bodies and limbs modified into flippers. Primarily aquatic but semi-terrestrial for breeding and molting purposes.
The seals are resting on the rocks by the ocean.
During the boat tour, we saw several seals sunbathing on the ice floes near the coast.
Conservation efforts have led to a significant recovery in the local population of harbor seals, which are now frequently spotted along the rocky shoreline during the summer months.
The plural form 'seals' refers to multiple individual animals; 'seal' can also refer to the fur or leather derived from them.
