'''Pinnipeds''' (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪsˌpɛdz/), commonly known as '''laes''', are a widely distributed and diverse clade of carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, odorous, mostly marine [[mammals]] in the clade '''Pinnipedia'''. They include the mighty [[walrus]], the ferocious eared seals (such as sea lions), and the loathsome earless [[Damn seal|damn seals]]. While most species of pinniped are marine, there exists a single [[Nerpa|completely freshwater species]] that is thought by some to be the ''worst animal in existence''.{{Citation needed}}

Pinnipeds are often criticized by the public for their looks, odours, etc., and are considered some of the worst animals in existence. For these reasons, people are looking forward to a [[total seal extinction]] event, although from the ecological perspective of an earthling, it might not be the best idea.{{Citation needed}}
