Seals are almost universally beloved for their cute appearance and playful behavior. Their face looks similar to a dog or catnote For good reason; all three are members of the mammalian order Carnivora, along with, among others, bears and raccoons, making them the aquatic version of a Precious Puppy or Cute Kitten. This often carries over into fiction, when seals are portrayed as adorable and benevolent characters. One common kind of seal that is depicted are baby harp seals, which have plump bodies in snow white coats, big dark eyes and are entirely helpless on the ice. To make them even cuter, they may be depicted balancing a ball on their head or nose. Although sea lions are much rarer in fiction than seals are, they can be included here too. Sea lions as well as their close cousins, the fur seals, are different from true seals — they have ear flaps, flippers that allow them to "walk" on land, and more — but the pinnipeds are similar enough that a separate trope for sea lions isn't necessary. Selkies and Wereseals can also be included. Compare Warm-Hearted Walrus, Playful Otter, Friendly, Playful Dolphin, and Heroic Dolphin. Contrast Monstrous Seal. Has nothing to do with a certain British R&B singer. |

Fluke and Rudder from Finding Dory. Though both, especially Fluke, have deep voice, they are benevolent sea lions who help Marlin and Nemo in the search for Dory as the title of the film suggests. | |

Subverted in Wondermark in a famous strip where an annoying sea lion constantly pesters a woman to give him sources to back up her negative opinion. "Sea Lion" has hence passed into internet slang to mean a certain type of The Gadfly who harasses people with unwanted requests for debate. | |

Classic Disney Shorts: Salty the Seal is a cute little nonanthropomorphic seal who often annoys Pluto, but eventually becomes friends with him. In Mickey and the Seal Salty hops into Mickey's picnic basket and goes home with him. The short Mickey's Circus features four sea lions, three adults and a pup who can be considered an early version of Salty the Seal. The mischievous sea lions cause much annoyance to their trainer, Donald Duck. |

Sesame Street: Wolfgang is an excitable seal who communicates through a series of barks. If he so much as hears the word "fish", he is apt to go into a frenzy, so other characters have to avoid saying the word in his presence. There is one song called "Swim Like Sea Lions" that features footage of children swimming along with sea lions.note Or at least, trying to achieve this effect. The two groups are never shown in the same frame and seem to be in different bodies of water. |

Sherman's Lagoon: Played with in one storyline where Fillmore meets a pair of sea lions named Barry and Larry. They act friendly towards Fillmore and Hawthorne, but act hostile towards Sherman and Megan. Again played with in a storyline where a group of seals hold a convention in the lagoon. They're genuinely friendly, but a rowdy bunch of party animals. |

Selkie from My Hero Academia is a superhero who looks like a humanoid seal and has the abilities of one (like breathing underwater and using echolocation), and he often tries to invoke this trope by acting cute because he thinks children will love it.

The Swiss stop-motion series Pingu gives us Robby The Seal, who is Pingu's best friend. Robby first meets Pingu when he decides to go ice fishing and Robby decides to play tricks on him and steal some of his fish. After Pingu gets annoyed with Robby's tricks he decides to chase him back onto thin ice. Robby attempts to escape by trying to slip through the crack. When Pingu yells at him it causes him to lose his grip and sprain his flipper, causing him to cry after he injures his hand. Pingu comforts him and gives him some food before returning home. | |

Popplio is a plucky little Non-Ironic Clown sea lion. Its evolution, Brionne, is just as energetic and sweet, while Primarina, its final evolution, is a beautiful opera singer resembling a mermaid. |
